GRDC Code: WMG1803-002SAX
Demonstrating the benefits of soil amelioration and controlled traffic practices across a broad range of soil types in Western Australia.
Soil amelioration is a key part of farming systems in Western Australia to overcome soil limitations to crop production. The removal of soil constraints such as compaction and water repellence through strategic tillage practices generally leads to…- Project start date:
