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
