Water Usage Trials With Bananas On The Gascoyne, W M. Nunn
Water Usage Trials With Bananas On The Gascoyne, W M. Nunn
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE banana industry at Carnarvon is an unusual one by most agricultural standards.
Normally a tropical plant liking relatively humid conditions in a high rainfall, the banana is cultivated at Carnarvon in an area of extremely low rainfall and with relatively low humidity throughout the year.
Water is pumped to irrigate the crop from the sands of the Gascoyne River bed or from bores adjacent to the river course.
