A collection of useful industry links and resources on legumes.

Conservation farming is a practice and philosophy which strives to protect the soil, minimise land degradation and environmental pollution and improve the conditions for plant growth. It is now recognised as one of the most important innovations in modern agriculture. Experience suggests it is not only desirable but essential for the long-term protection and productivity of NT soil.
Conservation farming reduces labour and machinery costs but,
in some cases, herbicide expenses may increase. Over the longer term, conservation farming should result in greater flexibility, lower production costs, more reliable yields and better protection of natural resources.
