For over 30 years Prof. Yuri Tkachenko and his team of scientists researched the effects of magnetic fields on plants and a method of magneto-hydro dynamical activisation of irrigation waters. From this research exciting new applications have been developed and tested in Europe, Middle East and Australia. The applications include physical- chemical changes of irrigation water parameters, resulting in improvement of filtration properties and in an increase in the dissolving properties of water.
In September 2001, after years of preparation, the Commonwealth Government released The Basin Salinity Management Strategy.
