Tackling Mallee Seeps: Insights from the MSF Research Update
<p><strong>Tackling Mallee Seeps: Insights from the MSF Research Update</strong></p> <p>In this episode of the MSF Farm Talk podcast 🎙️, Chris McDonough shares insights from a Mallee Research Update in Victoria on identifying and managing Mallee seeps — areas where perched water tables bring water and salt close to the soil surface, causing ponding, crop loss and bare saline scalds.</p> <p>The discussion covers the importance of early detection, understanding water-table salinity, and practical management strategies to restore affected areas. These include re-establishing living groundcover with salt-tolerant species such as puccinellia and tall wheat grass, and lowering perched water tables by intercepting and utilising excess water with perennial plants like lucerne strips. Chris also highlights a range of tools and videos available on the MSF website, including a five-step decision tree to help growers assess seep type, landscape position, severity and salinity.</p> <p> </p> <p>Explore the Mallee Seeps project pages to learn more about identifying mallee seeps, best-practice management approaches, and grower case studies.</p> <p><strong>Project Page, Resources and Case Studies:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://msfp.org.au/projects/mallee-seeps/">Mallee Seeps - Mallee Sustainable Farming</a></p> <p><a href="https://msfp.org.au/mallee-seeps-decision-tree/">Mallee Seeps Decision Tree - Mallee Sustainable Farming</a></p> <p><a href="https://msfp.org.au/msf_resource/case-studies-of-seeps-trial-sites-in-the-victorian-mallee/">Case studies of seeps trial sites in the Victorian Mallee - Mallee Sustainable Farming</a></p> <p><a href="https://msfp.org.au/msf_resource/evaluation-monitoring-methods-for-mallee-seeps/">Evaluation & monitoring methods for Mallee seeps - Mallee Sustainable Farming</a></p> <p><a href="https://msfp.org.au/msf_resource/mallee-seeps-satellite-ndvi-imagery/">Mallee Seeps Satellite NDVI Imagery - Mallee Sustainable Farming</a></p> <p><strong>Soils Connect (Practical Soil Management Resources):</strong><br><a href="https://soilsconnect.com.au/">Soils Connect | Your Hub for Soil Knowledge & Innovation</a></p> <p> </p> <p>This podcast episode of the Regional Drought Resilience Planning program is supported by Mallee CMA and Mallee Sustainable Farming, through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund and the Victorian Government.</p><p><a href="https://msfp.org.au/about/membership/" rel="payment">Support the show: https://msfp.org.au/about/membership/</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Managing Dry Saline Land: Insights from the MSF Research Updates
<p><strong>Managing Dry Saline Land: Insights from the MSF Research Updates</strong></p> <p>In this episode of the MSF Farm Talk podcast, Chris McDonough shares practical insights from a recent MSF Mallee Research Update in Victoria, exploring how growers can better manage dry saline land and improve crop establishment in challenging conditions.</p> <p>Chris explains how transient subsoil salinity can move to the soil surface during dry periods through capillary rise and evaporation, often making the top 5 cm significantly more saline than the layers below. The episode also unpacks how salinity impacts crops through osmotic stress and toxicity, reducing germination, emergence and plant survival.</p> <p>The discussion focuses on practical management strategies aimed at improving establishment and maintaining ground cover, including:</p> <ul> <li>Retaining surface cover such as straw or mulch</li> <li>Using opportunistic rainfall events to aid establishment</li> <li>Avoiding practices that bring saline clay to the surface</li> <li>Considering more salt-tolerant crop varieties</li> </ul> <p>This episode provides growers and advisers with practical considerations for protecting soil surfaces, improving resilience and managing productivity on saline-prone soils.</p> <p>Explore the Dry Saline Land project pages to learn more about identifying dry saline land, best-practice management approaches, and grower case studies.</p> <p><strong>Project Pages:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://msfp.org.au/projects/fixing-saline-soils/"></a><a href="https://msfp.org.au/dry-saline-land-2/">Dry Saline Land - Mallee Sustainable Farming</a><a href="https://msfp.org.au/projects/fixing-saline-soils/"></a></p> <p><a href="https://msfp.org.au/projects/fixing-saline-soils/">Fixing Saline Soils - Mallee Sustainable Farming</a></p> <p><strong>Case Studies:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://msfp.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Case-Study-5-Rick-Plant-Resilient-Soils-Saline-Soils-Case-Study-.pdf">Case Study 5: Rick Plant | Resilient Soils Saline Soils Case Study</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbXvHuxKbT4">How to spread straw</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kw7MJA1quA">Spreading sand vs straw</a></p> <p><strong>Soils Connect (Practical Soil Management Resources):</strong></p> <p><a href="https://soilsconnect.com.au/">Soils Connect | Your Hub for Soil Knowledge & Innovation</a></p> <p>This podcast episode of the Regional Drought Resilience Planning program is supported by Mallee CMA and Mallee Sustainable Farming, through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund and the Victorian Government.</p><p><a href="https://msfp.org.au/about/membership/" rel="payment">Support the show: https://msfp.org.au/about/membership/</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
