Managing soils post amelioration in the Upper South East of SAThis investment is designed help build growers’ confidence and address gaps in knowledge relating to the agronomic management of recently ameliorated soils in the upper South East of South Australia. The project will include a three-year series of trials, soil characterisations, pit demonstrations and associated extension activities to:
Six distinct phases of amelioration have been identified through the planning and implementation of soil amelioration as follows:
This investment is designed to address gaps in grower confidence and knowledge around phases four and five (transition and new stabilised yield potential). |
