Optimising lentil yields through rotation intransient salinity soils (NEW0224)

START

July 1, 2024

FINISH

June 30, 2027

Summary

This project aims to make transient saline soils more productive again for growing lentils through the use of a chemical fallow phase of the rotation. The fallow allows both soil moisture to be conserved through stubble load, helping for lentil establishment, and will also aim to reduce the area of saline affected soil for the following crops.
