Trial 89ME32
Rowspacing summary.
Location: Merredin Research Station.
89ME32 was monitored as part of the long term monitoring system. Previous to 1990 two years of continued measurements had been done on the same soil type. Located on the CSIRO lease block above the Merredin Research Station on Crook's property.
Trial 87M71
Heavyload rowspacing summary.
Location: Merredin Research Station.
The changes in the soil moisture down the profile were monitored in 87M71 as part of the long term monitoring network.
Trial 88ME83
Trial summary.
As part of the baseline monitoring system access tubes were inserted in 88ME83 on existing trial on sandy clay loam on Robartson's farm, Merredin.
82M47
Trial summary
Location: Merredin Research Station.
Tubes were inserted in 82M47 an existing clover:wheat rotation to monitor the changes in the soil water balance. 82M47 is one of the trials in the long turn monitoring system.
