Project Overview
Understanding Soil Amelioration Responses
This fact sheet presents results from soil amelioration demonstration sites across the Millewa and surrounding districts, including Lowbank, Bowhill, and Paruna. It focuses on comparisons of deep ripping treatments established in 2024 and monitored through the 2025 season to assess their impact on crop performance.
The Millewa site forms part of a broader multi-site evaluation designed to understand how soil amelioration performs across different environments and seasons. By comparing ripped and untreated areas over time, the project builds a stronger evidence base on where soil amelioration delivers consistent benefits, where responses vary, and how management recommendations can be improved for local farming systems.
