Summary
PROC-9177329 Long (winter) fallowing can be either strategic or tactical. In strategic fallowing the decision to fallow is made in advance and implemented regularly to manage climate risk. In tactical fallowing the decision to fallow is more reactive, based on the evolving season and can be related to seasonal risk mitigation or temporal changes in weed and disease burdens. Although many growers are implementing a (winter) fallow in their farming systems, a large number remain uncertain and are seeking scientifically backed advice on several aspects of fallowing. Recent National Grower Network (NGN) investments from GRDC have provided some insights into the costs and benefits of fallowing. But there are complexities affecting the decision to fallow and knowledge gaps on fallowing were still a priority issue raised at several NGN forums in the LRZ of Western Australia. This investment aims to provide growers with technical guidelines that provide actionable insights for considering strategic and/or tactical fallowing approaches.
