Saltland Genie Web App provides the latest information on profitable saltland solutions for your property. The App brings together decision making tools, on-farm case studies, industry research and resources into one place to help you find the best management solution for your saline land. The Web App is integrated with the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) website which provides the most up to date information. The Saltland Genie Web App was developed through the Gillamii Centre’s project: Regenerating Saline and Marginal Landscapes in Southern WA. Made possible by the support of DPIRD. Supported by funding from the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program.

Freya Spencer (Gillamii Centre); Justin Hardy and Ron Master (DPIRD) have worked together to present eight decision tools; the Solutions Explorer’s  ‘Functions Specification file’ is utilized from the original Genie and the remaining seven tools since developed and added following industry feedback and testing and include: Water Salinity Calculator; Soil Salinity Calculator; SGSL Economics Calculator; Plant Spacing Calculator; SALTdeck; SALTdeck Native Reveg, Making It Work and Genie’s Map. David Bicknell (DPIRD) has updated all DPIRD webpages that support the Solutions Explorer. Carlos Babativa Rodriguez (DPIRD) provided advice and support in digital development.

Saltland Genie Web App replaces the original Saltland Genie website (a product of the Future Farm Industries Cooperative Research Centre) and has been developed as part of the Gillamii Centre’s Productive Saltland Pastures for Southern WA Project, a collaboration with DPIRD, supported by funding from the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program. Saltland Genie content has been developed from a substantial body of research and the highly successful national Sustainable Grazing on Saline Lands (SGSL) initiative. Many organisations are continuing to invest in saltland research and development: DPIRD; the Australian Federal Government; CSIRO; Meat & Livestock Australia; the Grains Research & Development Corporation; many associated organisations, Grower and Landcare Groups. Saltland Genie will incorporate the results of this work as it becomes available.
