Salinity and potato production (Part 1 of 4): Monitoring for improved management

This fact sheet is the first in a series of four offering tools, tips and management options for potato growers in Australia affected by salinisation.

This first fact sheet outlines the causes of salinity followed by key assessments and tests that will better inform your management decisions.

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.
