Using Our Soils to 2 Metres - The Long Season Wheat Project

In this episode of PaddockChat, Executive Officer Nathan Craig talks with former WMG Graduate Project Officer Adam Anfuso about the Long Season Wheat Project.

• Which was the best preforming variety?
• How far did the wheat roots actually penetrate into the soil?
• Should we be growing Long Season Wheat varieties more?

Nathan and Adam guide us through how we can effectively use our sandy soils down to and below 2 metres, focusing on the concept and results of the 2021 WMG Long Season Wheat Project.

Adam's work on this trial has been a major focus of his master’s degree at the University of Western Australia and this podcast is a special companion piece to Adam’s presentation during the WMG Seasonal Updates Festival 2022. This project is jointly funded through the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund and the West Midlands Group.

For more information on this project, you can find a comprehensive write-up in the WMG February Quarterly 2022, or watch Adam's live stream during Day 1 - Session 2 of the Seasonal Updates Festival 2022 on the WMG Facebook and Twitter pages.
