  1. Irrigation systems

    General information, pressurised systems and pumps.

  2. Soil water monitoring and irrigation scheduling.

    Soil water monitoring and irrigation scheduling, including soil texture, sodicity and salinity, probes, tensiometer, regions and irrigation management.

  3. Drip drainage

    Drip irrigation has become the standard irrigation system adopted for irrigated horticulture in the Mallee. Most irrigators are generally operating at a high level of efficiency. Recent observations have highlighted that drip irrigators can achieve even greater efficiencies by addressing system drainage (often referred to as ‘drain-out’).

  4. Introduction to remote sensing for crop health

    Remote sensing refers to a suite of technologies that use sensors to obtain information about an object without making contact with it. The sensors used to collect this information come in two forms, passive and active.

  5. Monitoring health and crop water requirements using remote sensing.

    Multispectral sensors or cameras from drones, satellites or other aerial vehicles can see these colours as well as the bands of light in the broader spectrum (including near infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared). These bands can be used to obtain an indication of plant health when used to calculate different

  6. Irrigation incentives and training benefits

    Irrigators are reporting bigger crops, better prices and greater water savings after increasing the use of science and technology on their farms.

  7. Drought Consultation Summary Report Part 1

    The North West Irrigated Horticulture Node of the Victoria Drought Hub has undertaken a series of focused consultations on drought. This summary provides an overview of some of the high level findings from the first block of consultation activities.

  8. Irrigation decision making and innovation report

    The project looked to understand the multiple and intersecting factors that inform irrigation decision-making and innovation in practice across the Sunraysia Mallee region.

  9. Horticulture Skills Capacity Framework

    The key skills gaps across the industries were mapped with similar, although not identical, needs found in terms of technical skills and behavioural skills. Given these similar skill requirements and a general interest in collaborating on a skilled labour competency framework approach, recommendations on how this would look and who

  10. Drought management for the health and longevity of perennial horticulture plants

    Australia’s horticulture industry is vital to the national economy, producing high-value crops such as grapes, citrus and almonds. As the climate changes, the industry faces a critical need for enhanced drought resilience.
