How to test for dispersive soil
Now is the time of year to test your paddock for dispersive soil. Many soils in south-eastern Australia have naturally dispersive topsoils that are prone to compaction, temporary water-logging and reduced seedling emergence. \n\nIn this podcast, NSW Department of Primary Industries research Dr Ehsan Tavakkoli shares a simple one-hour soil test that quickly tells growers if dispersion is an issue in their paddocks, allowing them to make informed gypsum application decisions. \n\nContact: \nDr Ehsan Tavakkoli \nhsan.tavakkoli@dpi.nsw.gov.au \n\nUseful resources: \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_6zHhlNyBU&t\nLearn more about your ad choices.
