HortEx Alliance has received funding from the AMLRNRM Boards Sustainable Industry Grants to deliver a new project.
The project ran over twelve months from 1st July 2013 to 30th June 2014.
The scope of this project is to work with six selected grower graduates who are achieving higher yields and quality since completing Noel’s advanced irrigation training program.
The focus will be two intensive case studies on irrigation management in saline/poorly drained soils to capture the changes and benefits achieved on both farms, by way of video resources (Subtitled in Vietnamese) and written Case Studies. The remaining four sites will be used to capture the on-farm practices of these growers that have led to irrigation and soil management changes and will be communicated using fact sheets and more generic videos. Use of slightly saline Class A Reclaimed Water from the Virginia - Bolivar Pipeline Scheme will be a focus of these studies as well as bore water usage.
Please Note: Case studies, fact sheets and videos etc. will be added to this project page as the project progresses with an end date of 30th June 2014!
