Soil Amelioration - WA
WA\u2019s sand plain soils feature multiple constraints including water repellence, acidity and compaction, all focus points of GRDC\u2019s $33-million-dollar investment in the Soil Constraints West Project.\n\nSoil constraints result in lost grain production worth more than $4 billion annually, just in WA.\n\nA key project outcome is that growers should consider treating multiple constraints over smaller areas, rather than working on one constraint at a time.\n\nThe 'ranking options for soil amendments' (ROSA) tool provides a cost-effectiveness ranking of soil amendment options to address one or more soil constraints within a farm business.\n\nCheck out the ROSA decision support tool: https://www.agric.wa.gov.au/climate-land-water/soils/managing-soils\n\nGRDC project codes: DAW00244 Soil Water Repellence and AVP00003-A (RCSN) projectsDAW00252, DAW00236\n\nFurther information:\nDr Stephen Davies\n0408 439 497\n08 9956 8515\nStephen.davies@dpird.wa.gov.au\nLearn more about your ad choices.
