This study explores the impact of precision agriculture technologies on productivity at a 5,400 Ha grain farm in Liverpool Plains, NSW, featuring 3,300 Ha of grain crops, including Durum Wheat, Chick Peas, and Sorghum. Techniques such as zero tillage and controlled traffic farming were utilized to continually assess performance. Data on wheat and faba bean yields, as well as NDVI biomass measurements, highlight the benefits of high sulfate ammonia application, ultimately leading to improved crop outputs.
