Episode Synopsis "Episode 11 Dr Jeff Tullberg. Brisbane and Chris Bluett, Ballarat – The reduction in nitrous oxide emissions from controlled traffic farming"

Research has shown that nitrous oxide emissions were, on average, 2.2 times greater on wheeled soil compared to unwheeled zones in controlled traffic farming around Australia. In this episode, we chat with ACTFA board members Dr Jeff Tullberg and Dr Chris Bluett about the results of a project funded by the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources investigating the potential for controlled traffic farming to reduce nitrous oxide emissions. The project was part of its Carbon Farming Futures Action on the Ground Program (AOTGR2-62:Nitrous oxide emission reductions from controlled traffic farming Jeff is an Australian agricultural engineer with broad experience in research, teaching, extension and consulting on technical and economic aspects of farm machinery and its impact on soil, cropping systems and the environment. Chris is an agriculturist with broad experience in grain crop agronomy and farming systems, primarily in the High Rainfall Zone of Southern Victoria. His work includes new crop development ie canola, raised bed farming and controlled traffic farming.This podcast was funded by ACTFA’s National LandcareProgram Smart Farms Project 4-EALL5X “Resilient mixed farming systems in Victoria and New South Wales through controlled traffic farming. A workshop Series”
