This fillable template introduces the value of adequate water infiltration for crop production and walks through the steps to carry out a research trial. The template includes a case study of a producer who tested the effect of forage radish mixed with an annual forage crop of triticale, oats and peas. The goal was to improve water infiltration under dryland conditions. It provides tips on:
- Deciding what to test
- Finding the best location for test plots
- Laying out test plots
- Collecting and analyzing data
- Interpreting results
