Salinity and potato production (Part 3 of 4): Managing hydrophobic soils in potato production
This fact sheet is the third in a series of four on salinity and potato production in South Australia.
In this fact sheet, we explore the impact of hydrophobic soils on potato production and options for growers to assist with their management to improve potato yields.
This series of factsheets were developed by Serve-Ag and E.E. Muir & Sons as part of the Hort Innovation project PT16001 - Impact of groundwater quality on the management of centre-pivot-grown potato crops.
Watch this webinar recording to find out more about hydrophobic soils and potato production, including the causes, impacts and associated costs of hydrophobicity as well as irrigation management.
Hear from panelists Julie Finnigan (Serve-Ag), Bruce Scott (E.E. Muir & Sons) and Carl Larsen (RMCG).
This webinar was funded by Hort Innovation as part of the project - Impact of groundwater quality on management of centre pivot grown potato crops (PT16001).
