HIGH COUNTRYFARMINGSoils in urgent need of rainBy PAUL McINTOSHIndustry Development Agronomist - NorthernRegion for Pulse Australia and the AustralianHerbicide Resistance InitiativeOUR SOILS HAVE BEEN SUBJECTTO VERY DRYING CONDITIONSWe walk across them every day and, hopefully,we never take them for granted.Of course, I am referring to our soils. That topthree or four feet of the earth’s crust that we endeavourto grow plants in and help feed the world.As many of us know, the harsh realities ofdrought and extremes of temperature can negativelyaffect our current abilities to grow plants infeeding the 8 billion folk in the world.Much of our current environment is characterisedby low rainfall, low humidities and high temperatures,which all leads to this basically bakingor cooking of our top soils.What happens when you bake something in ahot and dry oven?Well, with a soil sample, you can eventually extractall the water from all the various soil storagepoints.In soils this is from around all the pore spacesand silt and clay particles, all of which can fill withthe water, organic matter, nutrients, soil biota, airand other gases.So we acknowledge our soils have been subjectto these very drying conditions with heat and windcontributing to this major moisture deficit situations.We have a point in various soil mediums wherecrop lower limits are reached. What are lower limits?They are the bottom limits of what plants canaccess in available soil moisture, usually around atwhat we call permanent wilting points.So we can have different soils with differentproperties and, therefore, different crop lower limits.However, after our soils have reached thesecrop lower limits, there is still some water containedin our soil pores and films around particlescalled hygroscopic water.Of course, with the severe dry and hot timeswe have experienced in the past few years, thisphenomenon of drought has nearly completelydrained our top soil layers of any moisture formany of us.This could extend down to 30 or 40cm and,needless to say, will need to be replaced by rainfallor irrigation practices before the next crop.Rainfall we are definitely short on in many regions,so this replenishment act could take sometime.The biggest crunch is that the rainfall or wateringpractices needs to refill first these spaces of hygroscopicwater, which we term it at those belowcrop lower limits.That can take considerable amounts of waterbefore we even start to think about PAWC or PlantAvailable Water Capacity from the Capillary waterin the soil solution.For instance in some reasonable quality soilswith bulk density of 1.1 to 1.2, you could expectthat it could take 20mm of rain per 10cm of soilDarling Downs soil after primary tillage in 2019 and some rain in 2020depth to fill in these pores and clay particles withhygroscopic water, that is basically unavailable toour crop plants.While we all lament that our soaking rainfallamounts of 100mm or more are still leaving manyof our cropping paddocks too dry or risky to plant,due to this fact of a fair quantity of our top soilsneeding a significant top up so to speak of this basichygroscopic water, before our desirable plantscan get their share.Add to this is that our soils may be very drydown to 60cm and you can see that for successfulcropping and pasture growth, we really needsteady soaking rain to give us the three types ofwater (gravitational, capillary and hygroscopic)we desperately need in our paddocks from thisforecasted rainfall pattern we call La Niña.However , who really cares what name we giveit.We all just want the rainfall patterns to occur,that we all hear about, in the current daily forecastsdon’t we?
