Using soil and plant testing data to better inform nutrient management and optimise fertiliser investments for grain growers in the southern region
Using soil and plant testing data to better inform nutrient management and optimise fertiliser investments for grain growers in the southern region. Project led by Harm van Rees and Sean Mason, Agronomy Solutions. Other partners CSIRO (economic analysis), AgCommunicators (extension), APAL (soil and plant testing), Landmark, private agronomists and farming systems groups (Sarah Noack co-ordinator)….
Increasing adoption of new techniques combining physical, chemical and plant based interventions to improve soil function on Eyre Peninsula
Increase awareness of methods to address a range of soil constraints, by demonstrating how the combination of deep incorporation of chemical amendments (lime and gypsum) and the inclusion of organic materials can address soil physical and chemical constrains that reduce plant root growth and limit soil biological function. Will conduct a training and extension programme…
Increasing production on sandy soils in low and medium rainfall areas of the Southern Region
The project is looking at why there is unused soil water at harvest in cropping systems on sandy soils, and what are the mitigation and amelioration options to improve this situation. The project is investigating the physical, chemical impediments and the biological constraints in sandy soils and crop establishment on non-wetting soils. On upper EP,…
