This research aims to find strategies for improved efficiency and profitability, but also highlight possible problems and limitations. For example, early sown high nitrogen high, yielding cereals and canola may leave soil water at lower levels post-harvest than lower yielding later planted crops. This may have negative impacts on following crops in dry seasons. In contrast, rotations with pulses boost canola yield, reduce cereal disease, and provide more weed control options and sometimes more soil water for following crops.
