Silt washed into farm dams (excavated earth tanks) reduces storage volume, increases the chance of algal blooms and increases the proportion of water lost to evaporation.
Managing saline dryland (rainfed, not irrigated) can provide many benefits: increased whole-farm productivity, reduced on-farm and off-farm degradation, and protection of landscape and community va
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development’s (DPIRD) Statistical Seasonal Forecast (SSF) outlook for February to April 2023, is indicating greater than 60% probability of above...
Open groundwater drains are excavated channels with sloping floors and sides, designed to intercept and drain surface (usually fresh) and groundwater (usually saline in Western Australia) from agri
Regenerative farming workshops and masterclasses will be run from Torbay to Margaret River, from Dandaragan to the Perth Hills. These workshops will explore soil biology and offer practical advice...
In Australia, it is illegal to feed restricted animal material (RAM) to ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats, deer, camels and alpacas). This is known as the 'ruminant feed ban'.
These case studies demonstrate the experience and learning of farmers and other land managers from managing dryland salinity on their own properties we and they believe that what they have learnt i
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development’s (DPIRD) Statistical Seasonal Forecast (SSF) outlook for January to February 2023, is indicating mixed probabilities of above median...
Dryland salinity (salinity on non-irrigated land) is one of the greatest environmental threats facing Western Australia's agricultural land, water, biodiversity and infrastructure.
More than 1 million hectares of previously productive land in South West Western Australia (SW WA) is severely affected by dryland salinity, and about 0.75 million hectares is moderately affected..
Congratulations to the nineteen grant recipients of Round Two of the International Competitiveness Co-investment Fund (ICCF) – a major grant program of the Department of Primary Industries and Regi
