b"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.
