Demonstrating the benefits of soil amelioration and controlled traffic practices across a broad range of soil types in Western Australia locations

Aims

To evaluate and demonstrate the benefit of soil amelioration across a wider range of soil types that are common to the WA grain growing region.

Key messages

During the season, plant growth was measured using a Greenseeker to measure Normalised Vegetation Differential Index (NDVI) at early tillering (growth stage GS14), end of tillering (GS30), and at the end of stem elongation (GS40).
