Low Cost Low Effort

As a general rule, establishing a saltland pasture will be at least as expensive as any custom established pasture on non-saline land. Saltland Solutions that require hand planting (such as nursery raised saltbush or tubestock for non-grazing options) will be significantly more expensive than regular pasture establishment.

During the Sustainable Grazing no Saline Lands initiative (SGSL) farmers tested saltland options across southern Australia – the surprise result was that saltland that was simply fenced and rotationally grazed yielded (on average) 50% of the growth achieved from sown saltland pastures.
