Seminar - Foxton Tuesday 23 September
AGM
& GPS Protocols - Hastings 25 September
Welcome to LandWISE,
an Incorporated Society providing leadership, support and research
for the promotion of sustainable crop production in New Zealand.
LandWISE brings together farmers, industry and
research organisations to find and develop best practices and sustainable
solutions for the process vegetable and cropping sectors in New
Zealand.
Supported by the MAF Sustainable
Farming Fund and our Gold sponsors, membership is open to anyone
who shares our objectives.
Members
and interested groups receive newsletters and project updates and
get together in May each year for our Annual Conference. Field walks
and workshops are held throughout the year.
Current
projects include assessment of a Nuclear Densometer as a tool to
measure soil compaction, and investigating buried drip irrigation
for row crops and pasture.
Previous
projects include trial work on strip tillage, minimum tillage, controlled
traffic farming, banded fertiliser applications, irrigation efficiency
and enhancement. Results are published on the website and information
is shared through LandWISE Notes and LandWISE Reports.
