Dear Subscribers,
Please see below a podcast regarding adding cover crops straight to the harvester.
This is also being done with broadcasting a follow-up crop immediately as the previous crop is being harvested, for example, no-till rape seed oil being broadcast while the no-till wheat crop is being harvested in a Conservation Agriculture system. Farmer Tony Reynold in Lincolnshire, England, has been doing this successfully with an autocast attached to the harvester for many years now.

Given the high value attached to crop biomass and its important role in sustainable agriculture, it would be more appropriate to consider replacing the word 'residue' with the word 'biomass'. This would make the title to be 'the Crop *biomass* management in South Asia meeting'.
