Abstract

Degradable polymer film (DPF) is a new technology that can potentially assist cropping farmers in the low rainfall cropping areas of Australia to manage and adapt to climate change and seasonal climate variability by concentrating limited rainfall, conserving evapo-transpiration and enhancing the water-use efficiency of crops. Modeling indicates that film-based wheat production can be an economic option for farmers (cf. current management) and that the optimum configuration varies with season.
