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

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
