Case study: Managing soil health in Werribee South

Case study
On-farm and crop management

Victoria’s Werribee South vegetable growing region faces a range of production challenges, particularly when it comes to soil health.

Read this case study from a demonstration site as part of the Soil Wealth ICP project, which is investigating ways to improve crop resilience and measure the impact of compost, gypsum and soluble calcium on salinity, sodicity effects on crops and overall soil health.

The growers and agronomists involved in this trial said it has resulted in improved crop yield and quality, and provided a great use of resources to target a major issue specific to Werribee South.
