Soil organic carbon (SOC) is inherently low in Western Australian soils – limited by climate and soil type – with some potential to increase through management.

Waterlogging in winter in the agricultural areas of Western Australia (WA) reduces crop yields.

Grade banks are used to intercept and divert surface water run-off into storage or waterways, to limit soil erosion.

Excavated tanks (farm dams) provide effective water storage wherever surface water run-off can be harvested for livestock, crop spraying, irrigation and domestic use on rural properties.

Fifteen Internet of Things (IoT) Program projects were conducted across the state in 2020.

NRInfo (natural resource information) provides you access to digital mapping and information for natural resources across Western Australia.

High levels of oestrogenic subterranean clovers occur in some medium to high rainfall pastures of Western Australia.

DPIRD's WA Internet of Things (IoT) Decision Ag Grants Program (2019), part of the eConnected Grainbelt project, was designed to assist in overcoming challenges that remained with regard to ‘on-far

The $580 000 WA Internet of Things (IoT) DecisionAg Grant Program (Program) was completed in 2021 and focused on demonstrating agricultural digital technology (ag-tech) solutions to WA growers and

'Real-time remote on-farm monitoring' is a compilation of case studies about the learning experiences of eight grower groups and five agricultural schools on their journeys to demonstrate on-farm c

Waterlogging causes clay to disperse in sodic soils, leading to soil structure collapse.

The release of the nation’s first Digital Infrastructure Atlas will provide WA enterprises with increased opportunities to improve their telecommunications services.

NRInfo (natural resource information) provides digital mapping and information for natural resources across Western Australia.

The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development’s (DPIRD) Statistical Seasonal Forecast (SSF) outlook for July to September  and July to October 2022 is indicating above 60 %...

The Australian plague locust is a declared pest under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act 2007.

Shallow relief drains are relatively cheap and easy to construct, and are effective at removing surface water from flooded or ponding land.

Natural or constructed grassed waterways can be used to safely move surface water across the landscape, handle water flow into and out of dams, the end of grade banks and other surface water dispos

The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, Western Australia, recommends using broad-based banks to intercept and divert surface water run-off in cropping areas where convention

Permanent raised beds are a practical and economic means of managing some waterlogged sites in wetter areas of the Western Australian grainbelt.

Surface water management is needed wherever water erosion is a risk, where water movement control or water harvesting is required, and as part of a salinity management program.
