This project is looking at groundwater quality in areas of potato production in South Australia (where groundwater quality is most variable) and investigating how regional and seasonal water-quality variability impacts on potato production and quality. It will ultimately deliver effective management strategies and tools for sustainable and profitable potato production under varying soil and water conditions.

This project has been funded by Hort Innovation, using the research and development levies listed below and contributions from the Australian Government. Hort Innovation is the grower-owned, not-for-profit research and development corporation for Australian horticulture.
