Salinity impact on Lower Murray horticulture

Sanderson, Graeme, McLean Geoff, Bourne, John, Biswas, Tapas K., Schrale, Gerrit, Stevens, Rob

The project was developed to test the hypothesis: a depressed leaching efficiency (LE) in the Lower Murray irrigation districts raises the root zone salinity and, improved water use efficiency (WUE) has an upper limit
