Long Term Agricultural Experiments


Sustainable Cropping Rotations in Mediterranean Environments (SCRIME)

The SCRIME experiment was established in 1998 at Longerenong in western Victoria to investigate cropping systems in relation to the soil resource (chemical, physical and biological); financial performance; and pest and disease management. The agro-ecological context of this site is a rain-fed cropping system within the Wimmera, which is a semi-arid (average 414 mm of annual rainfall) Mediterranean type environment.

The agro-ecological context of this site is a rain-fed cropping system within the Wimmera, which is a semi-arid (average 414 mm of annual rainfall) Mediterranean type environment.
