Soil Management for Australian Irrigated Agriculture - Stonefruit

Product Information

This case study looks at the project: Soil Management for Australian Irrigated Agriculture. The project addressed what was seen as the main cause for low productivity: “Australian soils rapidly deteriorate when put under crops – they go hard, then restrict crop roots, yield falls off disastrously and the crops become uneconomic after two years. Soil improvement trials were undertaken on-farm as part of the project.
