To answer the question 'Why are there so many sick crops in the Victorian Southern Mallee in 1995?'
In the northern wheat belt, poor crop growth has often been reported following long periods of fallow or after a prolonged drought. The symptoms of poor growth have been attributed to a lack of vasicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on the roots of wheat plants following a long dry period.
