NGN Optimising soil amelioration costs in typical Mallee soils

This investment will quantify the power requirements and fuel use for various soil amelioration techniques in typical Mallee soil types with replicated trials. A selection of the most common soil amelioration tines will be assessed for power requirements at different spacings, operating speeds, depths, and soil moisture. Monitoring of post amelioration effects on soil characteristics and crop performance will be undertaken in the subsequent year.
