Reduced evaporation:

Autumn weather may have periods of drying conditions following autumn rains. The dry periods can be severe enough to allow evaporation to drought and kill young seedlings.

Evaporation may be reduced in furrow-sown water repellent sands because the dry centres of ridges and inter-row soils can form an intermittent dry mulch . . . → Read More: The Risks Of Furrow Sowing With Perennial Pastures

Furrow Sowing For Improved Crops And Perennial Pastures On Water Repellent Soils

By Asst Editor Jason D, on December 23rd, 2011

Practices to avoid when furrow sowing:

Top-dressing all fertilisers before seeding with points or blades. The fertiliser can be lockedup in thrown ridges and less available in dry seasons. Using simazine-diflufenican mixtures post emergence on lupins. Metribuzin/ diflufenican causes less crop damage. Using shallow duplex soils which are prone to waterlogging, especially on the . . . → Read More: Furrow Sowing For Improved Crops And Perennial Pastures On Water Repellent Soils
