After a dry summer and 200mm GSR, this lovely sand is showing its true capability’s! Seeing real bad non wetting experience this year all! At what point is it too expensive not to clay? Given the high input costs when does leaving acres out of production become a viable option?

Badgingarra, WA, soil reengineering trial is sown with barley on 11 June - already showing good difference. Todd took these photos this morning (Todd Kenny). 1. Clay & spade, 2. Spade only, 3. Control. Thanks Kenny family for hosting the trial. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock GRDC West

North Stirling DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock re-engineering trial kicking along. Should see a yield difference in most treatments from the nil control. Some barely still germinating in control plots. Dr Gaus Azam Stephen Davies GRDC West

Sam West Todd Venning Trevor Syme Dr Gaus Azam GRDC West DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock Stephen Davies Kanch Wickramarachchi Assume so. Although have spread low rate out of same pit to good results, even see a difference from different clay layers as a pit progresses, Testing is the key!

Good concluding message from Aiden VRT Solutions regarding soil amelioration… “Don’t panic, relax… your soil will still be there tomorrow so time to implement a medium to long term plan” Global Conference on Sandy Soils #GCSS2025

Some large differences in growth above & below ground on show at our Field Walk at Nth Stirling re-engineering site tomorrow arvo. See flyer if interested. Dr Gaus Azam GRDC West DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock Stephen Davies

Bit to see at in the re-engineering plots. There may be hope for the white gutless sands yet. High rates of clay spaded into 40,80,120cm all miles ahead of the control and spade only. Will be interesting to see what the header says Dr Gaus Azam Kanch Wickramarachchi

You might think think what the…. pushing penetrometer in the middle of summer in dry soil…. YES… but irresistible when I found last year’s delving and spading treatment held up soil strength like this in a sodic duplex soil at Wagin Ben Ball 🇦🇺Glenn McDonald
