Ameliorating a deep repellent sand at Murlong increased wheat performance substantially in 2018

To:

  • determine if physical intervention and soil mixing improved grain yield on a sandy soil on eastern EP,
  • compare deep ripping with inclusion plates to spading,
  • determine if deeper ripping improved results, and
  • identify if the addition of fertilisers or organic material (OM) provide additional benefits.

Improving crop establishment in a non-wetting sand with soil wetting agents

To investigate water repellence mitigation options at seeding. The trial aims to identify the driving chemistries (surfactants vs humectants) and application techniques (furrow surface, vs seed zone) that are better able to lift crop responses under local sowing conditions. This article reports on the Year 1 data, with more work being planned for the 2019-20 seasons.
