NZARM Webinar: Smart Nitrogen Management 

Kate Fransen and Claire Phyn will provide an overview of two projects that are specifically targeting reductions in dairy farm nitrogen losses for improved freshwater quality. 

The Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures Plantain Potency and Practice Programme, led by DairyNZ, is a seven-year Aotearoa-wide collaborative research and development initiative (2021-2028).  It aims to assess the effectiveness of Ecotain plantain for reducing nitrate leaching. Farmlet trials at Lincoln and Massey universities are measuring leaching and production in farm systems with different levels of plantain. Partner farmers nationwide are collaborating with scientists to develop region-specific management practices. Kate Fransen will present an overview of results and implementation tools in a regulatory context.

The Low N Systems research program, also led by DairyNZ, explores stacking mitigation options to achieve on-farm nitrogen loss reductions of over 40-60%.  A farmlet trial is demonstrating a profitable and practical stacked Low N system by combining tactical management practices, lower nitrogen fertilizer use, diverse pasture species (plantain and Italian ryegrass), and wintering on pasture and baleage instead of crops. Research is also underway to create a real-time bulk milk-based indicator tool for farmers to manage their herd's dietary nitrogen surplus and minimize the risk of higher urinary nitrogen losses.

Conferences

NZARM’s Annual Conference is one of the key mechanisms that promote effective communication and transfer of information between members, other resource management practitioners, and the community, concerning resource management.


Regional meetings

Regional meetings are key elements of NZARM’s mission and service to its members.

These meetings are usually designed around a particular regional issue and tend to involve members and interested people from both within, and from adjacent regions.
