Potential wheat yield on gravel soil in south-western agricultural region of Western Australia
Video
High potential wheat yield based on rainfall corresponds with areas with a high proportion of gravel soil.
Tim Overheu, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, describes a gravelly duplex soil at Kendenup.
Gravel particles contain pores which allows extra space for interactions with water, nutrients and microorganisms within the soil profile – with many questions remaining to be answered.
Gravel soil comprises four million hectares of the arable area used for crop production in south-west Western Australia.
Internal pores in ironstone gravel particles provide additional water storage, new surfaces for nutrient binding and microhabitats for microorganisms.
