In part two of the MSF Farm Talk podcast featuring Dr. Stephen Davies, Principal Research Scientist at DPIRD in WA, the focus is on agronomy practices following soil amelioration.

The discussion covers methods for effective crop establishment, seeding techniques, and the use of longer coleoptile wheat varieties to improve productivity on freshly ameliorated soils.

Dr. Davies also shares insights into the challenges and strategies for managing these soils to ensure successful crop growth. The episode wraps up with considerations on seed rates and the benefits of strategic planning for future planting seasons. We would like to acknowledge that much of the work discussed on the podcast is the result of joint investment across a number of projects by DPIRD and GRDC.
