Soil water after drought

Coming out of an extended drought is a critical time for pasture management. Welcome rain offers the chance to refill soil profiles and initiate pasture growth. However, the species and ground cover in the pasture significantly impact how efficiently we capture rain and store it as soil water. The amount of captured rain helps to predict our future pasture growth. In this webinar, Sean will use the soil water balance to explore how different pasture types and densities have responded to rainfall events as we come out of the drought. For examples, Sean will use data from current and historical pasture experiments from Northern NSW.
