An improved and rapid test to inform sodic soil management (UAD4624)
START
July 1, 2024
FINISH
June 30, 2025
Summary
Large areas of South Australia are affected by sodic soils which results in lost agricultural productivity. Determination of gypsum rate requirements using conventional methods is problematic and can lead to increased costs for producers. The aim of this project is to develop an improved and rapid test for assessing gypsum requirements to improve crop production in sodic soils in South Australia.
