Sodic soil Australia in Melbourne, Victoria
Sodic soils are prevalent throughout Australian agricultural areas, and are often leading to poor soil structure and decreased productivity of crops. Sodic soil Australia issues arise due to excessive sodium displacement of magnesium and calcium which causes the crusting of the surface, infiltration issues and root limitation. The management of sodic soils requires the use of Gypsum for replacement of sodium ions, enhancing soil structure and the flow of water. Regular soil tests and organic matter incorporation and the proper management of irrigation are essential to restore the productivity. If you use the right soil treatments, Australian farmers can successfully restore sodiosoils for sustainable, long-term agriculture growth.
