    I have seen a wheat plant with the roots washed and they were 7-8ft deep. Not sure where the plant came from but the root structure was impressive.

      Vvalk not sure if anyone else has had this experience. about 30 years ago we had a bad barley crop at this time of year was a dry spring. We thought should work it under. At harvest it ran 85 bushel to acre. No fungicide no baby sitting. One of the best. I don't know what yours looks like but barley is resilient. Yield is not set now. If you get your second growth started now you can still do very well. Depends on what happens from now on. Do you have germination? Good luck.

        What's your soil biology status, you probably need mycorrhizal inoculation down the track. Naturally occurring fungus but depleted most likely.Most plants (not canola though) form symbiotic relationship with it and you get more massive root systems to help plants survive longer.Finer filaments can scavenge further into the soil. More roots, more OM deposited long term hence more moisture holding capacity, recreating the sponge your soil once was when it was first farmed. So how deep do roots go? Anywhere from 1 to 4 meters depending on your soil biology

          The solution to your salinity issues is product called Salt Out. This product sequesters the sodium and chloride ions from penetrating the root tissues of the plant/grass. It also opens up the ground and encapsulates the water particles
          Depending on the TDS, the initial application rate is normally 4 gallons per acre. After two monthly applications to significantly reduce the salinity , the maintenance application is only 2 gallons per acre.
          The product will also assist in reducing your applied irrigation by 20% since it is TeraFlo with the added components that eliminate the salinity. Coating the interior of your irrigation systems(sprinklers,drip, pumps, emitters, etc) keeping anything(salinity, calcium, dirt, residue etc) from sticking to the walls of your irrigation cutting maintenance down to nothing. Temperatures does not affect the product’s performance.Salt Out™ reduces or eliminates salinity stress in plant growth by sequestering sodium and chloride ions from penetrating plant root tissues. These conditions usually occur due to the buildup of salts as a result of fertilizer applications, irrigating with reclaimed, well or pond water, as well as salts deposited by ocean mist.
          Salt Outâ„¢ coats the plant roots disallowing the uptake of the salts thereby enhancing nutrient uptake resulting in rapid improvement and stabilization of turf color.
          Salt Outâ„¢ also contains a surfactant to ensure proper soil penetration and even moisture distribution throughout the root zone. It reduces water usage by 20% or greater.
