Improved Grazing Production on Non-Wetting Soils

The South Australian Non-Wetting Soils (NWS) project will apply soil amelioration techniques tested in cropping systems, to sandy soil based grazing systems to improve biomass production and test longevity of these treatments under commercial livestock grazing systems. By demonstration of new technologies and techniques that look at improving retention of moisture and nutrients, maximising rain-fed soil moisture and fertiliser use, to reduce the overall cost of production per hectare for feed base finishing systems to ensure increased livestock productivity and performance.
