This public user interface provides access to summary data on the performance of infield irrigation application systems that have been audited by industries.
Rising energy prices are now one of the major challenges for the horticultural industry in Queensland. On-farm energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important in the context of rising energy costs and concern over greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Growcom has developed a Farm Management System (FMS) program which allows the industry to systematically address on-farm management issues in a practical manner.
Soil repair in the Lockyer, Fassifern and Brisbane Valleys.
Flooding in early 2011 throughout the Lockyer, Brisbane and Fassifern valleys has resulted in productive areas losing topsoil and or being inundated with silt deposits. To address these impacts several key actions need to be managed to ensure a positive outcome.
How uniform an irrigation system applies water to a crop is an important element of efficiency and eventual productivity.
This information is derived from irrigation system assessments carried out by people trained in this work. Data is recorded and analysed in the Irrigation Performance Audit Reporting tool (IPART).
