Final report 2015 - for Nitrogen leaching under Lucerne

Lake Taupo Protection Trust and the Sustainable Farming Fund have funded a four year field trial on N-leaching under cut-and-carry Lucerne on a Taupo Lake Care (TLC) member’s Tihoi farm. At this site an underground facility was used to collect leachate form large diameter lysimeters. The leaching date will be used by the Overseer Committee to update the lucerne module within Overseer.
