Ripper Gauge Demonstration Sites Esperance Port ZoneThis project aims to establish 4 demonstration sites in the Esperance Port Zone that are used by growers to increase their knowledge and adoption of deep ripping and controlled traffic farming to alleviate non-wetting soils, compaction and waterlogging on different soil types in the port zone to improve crop production. To do so the project will measure the grain yield and gross margin outcome of each soil ameliorant treatment at each site. |
