2011 Mallee Paddock Challenge

This project provides members from targeted MSF regional groups in the SA Mallee with the opportunity to participate in on farm trials

These trials test agronomic management practices that lead to increased production, profitability and environmental benefits while reducing erosion risk. Each participant will receive over $300 worth of soil nutrition, root disease and leaf sampling results and interpretations.
