Led by WMG and funded by the Soil CRC, the Extension Packages Project is helping grower groups deliver more targeted, practical soil extension—building on regional strengths, shared challenges, and new tools to improve how research supports on-farm decisions.

Can chickpeas perform on heavier soils in WA? A new WMG trial near Moora is testing seeding and inoculant strategies to explore the pulse crop’s potential under local conditions—tracking establishment, nitrogen fixation, and yield throughout the 2025 season.

New CSBP trial results suggest potassium leaching is low-risk on ameliorated loamy sands in medium rainfall areas. Learn how wheat and lupins differ in K uptake, and what this means for fertiliser timing and long-term nutrient planning.

Climate-related reporting is expanding, but what does it mean for farmers? Rabobank explores how new disclosure rules may affect agriculture, and why short-term impacts are limited—though supply chain engagement and emissions tracking are set to grow over time.

Five years of Summit Fertilizers on-farm K trials reveal how rate, source, and placement influence yield and profitability. Explore what worked best on sandy soils, and whether MOP or SOP delivered the most value across changing seasons.

Post-harvest groundcover matters—especially in fragile soils. Learn how soil amelioration improved biomass, reduced weed pressure, and protected soil in a 2024 Dandaragan trial, offering practical insights for managing erosion, moisture retention, and resilience between harvest and seeding.

Soil health, weed control, stubble systems, and market insights took centre stage at WMG’s 2025 Crop Research Updates—bringing farmers and experts together for a day of practical knowledge-sharing, regional trial results, and on-farm innovation.

Water repellence is a major constraint in sandy soils—but strategic amelioration can help. Learn what causes repellence, how it affects crop performance, and which management options can improve infiltration, reduce erosion, and support long-term soil function.

A cross-regional collaboration between WMG and CFIG brought growers together to share practical stubble management insights—helping build resilient farming systems, improve soil cover, and foster partnerships across WA’s grainbelt through on-farm trials and grower-to-grower learning.

Growers gained practical insights into spray calibration, drift control, and new technology at WMG’s GRDC-supported workshop—combining expert advice, live demos, and autonomous sprayer tech to improve product efficacy, reduce waste, and boost on-farm spraying confidence.

Discover how the Risk/Reward Tool is helping farmers make better decisions by translating complex research into practical, easy-to-use formats—combining economic, environmental, and social insights in a way that supports real-world adoption.

Explore an in-depth analysis of the 2024 K Extension Project Dandaragan and Badgingarra trial results, offering practical insights for growers looking to optimise nutrient use and improve long-term productivity.

How can different soil amelioration methods improve crop yields and farm profitability? See our economic analysis of the 2024 season results from the Dandaragan Soil Water Repellence trial site to find out more.

How can farmers optimise sheep growth while maintaining pasture sustainability? Explore weight gain patterns, grazing duration, paddock management strategies and insights from the latest Warradarge FEED365 trial summer sheep grazing results.

Crop residues play a vital role in soil health, but how can farmers maximise their benefits? This article explores the soil microbiome’s role in residue breakdown, key factors influencing decomposition, and practical strategies to enhance soil fertility and long-term productivity.
