The matter of irrigation water quality is becoming more important, since many growers are either irrigating with snow melt runoff from or poor-quality subsurface water. One of our most important current issues with growing crops in areas with alpine catchments is the issue of water quality and how it relates to soil structure, crop quality

Pacific Fertiliser is current supplying some large volumes of gypsum in QLD. To cater for the demand we had to assemble some of our trailers into a road train.
Putting the dollars into sodic soil management Key Points of the GRDC article: - Sodicity is the presence of too much sodium (Na) in the soil. - Australia represents the majority of the world’s sodicity issues which can lead to a reduction in plant growth and grain yield as well as decreased soil structural ability.
Here are five key benefits of gypsum application: 1. Source of calcium and sulfur for plant nutrition. Plants are becoming more deficient for sulfur and mot soil are not supplying it. Gypsum is an excellent and cheap source of sulfur for plant nutrition and improving crop yield. 2. Improves soil structure. Flocculation, or aggregation, is

Treating Salinity and Sodic soil with Gypsum Most of the croplands in Australia are currently affected to some degree by saline or sodic soils. As salinity increases, crop yields and resistance to disease decreases. A sodic soil has an exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) of more than 6. This means that sodium comprises more than 6%
BENEFITS OF DIRECT APPLICATION PHOSPHATE ROCK Organic farming is the fastest growing sector of the global economy. Australia is the largest organic producer globally with 12 million hectares under organic cultivation.
