Knowledge & tools to manage fertigation technologies in highly productive citrus orchards for minimal environmental footprint

High frequency fertigation is being adopted by Australian citrus producers as an alternative to traditional approaches to supplying water and mineral nutrients to trees. Information, guidelines and practical tools to assess performance are insufficient to support the economic & sustainable use of these technologies for citrus production on Australian soils.

Salinity Impact on Horticulture in the Lower Murray

Sustainable Irrigation Program Research Proposal

The high value horticultural production systems along the lower Murray is likely to continue to suffer from increasing salinity levels in irrigation water despite improved irrigation management, saline groundwater interception and future environmental flows. The effects that variations in leaching efficiency and irrigation management have on soil salinity are also inadequately quantified.
