A minimum width of 2m must be left uncultivated in tillage fields beside watercourses but this can be cultivated once grass is established immediately.
We are now in the middle of the busy season for fertiliser spreading and spraying and protection of our waterways is essential when tackling these jobs.
Adhering to buffer zones is a key part of these jobs, whether it’s a splash plate, trailing shoe, wagtail or a sprayer with low-drift nozzles.
So what is a buffer zone?
A buffer zone is an area of land beside a watercourse which does not receive any agricultural inputs. It is not cultivated and cannot be planted with a tillage crop. On farms with stocking rates over 170kg organic N/ha, a fence should be in place 1.5m from the watercourse so that stock cannot graze beside the watercourse.

A man who was found guilty of dumping in a protected bog has been ordered to pay €18,810.

This year’s Arable April campaign is focusing on sustainability in the tillage sector.
The positive sustainability profile of the sector has gained a lot of publicity recently.
The carbon footprint of the tillage sector is about 14% of that of an average dairy farm, or around 30% of a typical beef enterprise.
