A range of management practices was explored for the Herbert River Region and the impact of the different agronomic regimes on annual net emissions and farm productivity were estimated using the Agricultural Production Systems Simulator (APSIM) and a spreadsheet based greenhouse gas calculator (GreenCalc). The results suggest that green cane trash blanketing can provide greater crop yields and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, compared with burnt systems. Further reductions in emissions may be obtained by incorporating a fallow period into the cropping cycle. Growing legumes during this period should reduce N fertiliser applications.

91. About Organic Organic farmers primary strategy in controlling pests and diseases is prevention through good plant nutrition and management. Organic http://www.ofrf.org/general/about_organic/

Home General Information Research Program SCOAR ... Site Index Frequently Asked Questions About Organic Farming What is organic farming What does certified organic mean www.ams.usda.gov/nop Is organic food more nutritious than conventional food? www.omri.org Is organic food safe? Yes. Organic food is as safe to consume as any other kind of food. Just as with any kind of produce, consumers should wash before consuming to ensure maximum cleanliness. As cited above, organic produce contains significantly lower levels of pesticide residues than conventional produce. It is a common misconception that organic food could be at greater risk of E. coli contamination because of raw manure application although conventional farmers commonly apply tons of raw manure as well with no regulation whatsoever. Organic standards set strict guidelines on manure use in organic farming: either it must be first composted, or it must be applied at least 90 days before harvest, which allows ample time for microbial breakdown of any pathogens. Is organic food really a significant industry?
