Abstract

Within the limitations of regional to national scale studies undertaken by NDSP and associated research, this report makes as much progress as possible in providing answers to key farm scale questions: * Is salinity likely to be severe enough to justify actionΓ * If action is justified, is there sufficient knowledge about salinity processes, impacts, and management options to decide on the best approach and preferred management optionsΓ In assisting producers and advisors to obtain answers to these questions, this report guides them through the following decision-making sequence: * Assessing salinity risk (and the nature of the salinity problem). * Short-listing possible approaches to managing it. * Reviewing tactics and management options. * Considering possible farm to catchment-scale outcomes from implementing the options. * Deciding on the best approach or approaches. * Confirming preferred tactics and options. issuesΓ
