Description:

The aim of this investment is to increase crop productivity on sandy soil types in the medium to high rainfall zones of the Western Australian Wheatbelt through incorporation of organic soil ameliorants. This is in addition to the increases in productivity from mechanical soil amelioration targeting compaction and non-wetting issues. This will be achieved through the successful extension of key learnings and economic outcomes (time to return on investment) of farm-scale trials, demonstrating the incorporation of organic soil ameliorants such as hay, stubble/straw and manure.
