ROSA
According to WA\u2019s Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development that estimate of $4.3 Billion in lost production is nearly equal to half the value of the state\u2019s annual grain production, so soil constraint issues are significant.\n\nThe type of constraints common to the West include water repellency, acidity, subsoil compaction and soil structure decline and the Grains Research & Development Corporation has invested in the development of an analytical tool called ROSA.\n\nROSA stands for Ranking Options for Soil Amelioration and its purpose is to help grain growers rank their soils and prioritise soil amelioration options.\n\nFurther Information:\nDr Elizabeth Petersen\nDPIRD Economist\n0404 077 194\nemail: Liz.Petersen@dpird.wa.gov.au\n\nGRDC Project code: DAW00244; DWA00243; DWA00242; DWA00236\nLearn more about your ad choices.
