WRI Seminar Series: Dr Therese McBeath and Dr Stephen Davies – Transforming the agricultural productivity of agricultural sandy landscapes in southern and western Australia.

Plant Research Centre Auditorium South Australia, Australia

Sandy landscapes are considered the least productive and most vulnerable agricultural landscapes of Australia. With more than 22 million ha of sandy soils, the principles of conservation agriculture have been widely adopted in Australian cropping systems. However, with yield gaps exceeding 50% of the yield potential, there are constraints to production that need to be addressed to maintain sustainable and profitable crop production on these soils.
