Improve irrigation and nutrient management in Top End intensive farming systems

G. Owens
Northern Territory Agricultural Association with in kind support from RDPIFR
Develop best practice in irrigation, land management and water use efficiency in intensive farming. Growers will assess current practice; identify areas for improvement, monitor water use, irrigation system performance and nutrient management. Industry will better match crop water and nutrient demand with irrigation applications. The project will be based on participative adaptive management, where growers make continual improvements as they learn better ways of managing their systems through measurement, comparison and group interaction.The focus is on the Daly catchment.
