Software to Help New Zealand Farmers to Measure Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accurately
He says it also enables farmers to manage the impact of nitrogen and phosphorus losses on water quality.
OVERSEERŪ is a user-friendly tool that utilises a wealth of scientific knowledge and enables farmers and their farm advisors to make effective nutrient management decisions.
He says it should be particularly useful in regions like Taupo and Rotorua where farmers are seeking to comply with new regulations aimed at reducing primarily nitrogen leaching into lakes.
This greenhouse gas module was first incorporated in 2003 and has recently been updated to include the latest New Zealand greenhouse gas inventory methods.
MAF, AgResearch and FertResearch have provided funding for OVERSEERŪ since its inception. A funding package is currently being put in place with MAF and FertResearch that will enable AgResearch to continue to upgrade the software and provide OVERSEERŪ, free of charge to farmers and their farm advisors via its website.
Because the product is widely accepted and easily adapted, farmers dont need to familiarise themselves with a new system each time we add functionality.
As sustainability becomes more of a focus for legislators looking at the agricultural compliance regimes, and importantly as the 2013 deadline approaches, OVERSEERŪ is likely to be an important tool in enabling New Zealand to meet its Kyoto obligations, says Kevin.
