In this episode, Tim Smythe from Mallee Sustainable Farming and Jack Desbiolles from the University of South Australia's Agriculture, Machinery, Research and Design Centre discuss their pioneering work on strip amelioration.
This technique involves alternating strips of ameliorated soil and undisturbed standing stubble, offering a flexible, erosion-reducing solution for high-risk crops like pulses in the Mallee.
They delve into the machinery developed for this process and its impact on erosion control and crop yields, sharing insights from trials and future pathways for broad adoption.
