Pasture renovation using Conservation Tillage including herbicide is a fast, efficient method of improving low producing pastures. The advent of Glyphosate has enabled pastures to be renovated without the need for a break-crop and thus minimal loss of production. Because of the rapid and substantial increase in carrying capacity, the cost of renovation can be recovered within 1-2 years of sowing. For these reasons pasture renovation using Conservation Tillage is becoming accepted practice in the hill and high country.
