Sodic Soils: Insights from 30 years of research with David Hall
Host: DPIRD research agronomist Cindy Webster
Guest Speaker: DPIRD Principal Research Scientist David Hall
In this episode of Grains Convo, Cindy Webster hosts DPIRD Principal Research Scientist David Hall, as they discuss sodic soils and David's work spanning 30-years (and counting) in this space.
David then delves into where sodic and alkaline clay soils occur most throughout WA, and explains the reasons why sodic soils are highly productive in above average rainfall years, but have poor outcomes for grain production in dry years.
