Body
On the self -mulching clay soils of north western New South Wales, wheat cultivation has expanded into areas previously regarded as too dry for crop production. The current wheat system involves continuous cultivation and is not sustainable in the long -term. Physical and chemical degradation of soil under wheat production has been monitored in this environment. This degradation is of concern as more of the "rangelands" become exploited as marginal cropping lands.
