- Bringing Regions Together Through Stubble Management: Shared Learnings from Corrigin to the West Midlands
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.
- Understanding the Microbiome Responsible for Crop Residue Breakdown
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.
- Can stubble management strategies help maintain groundcover?
Learn how the demonstration trials in the Stubble Management Project are helping farmers maintain over 50% groundcover, reducing erosion risks and improving soil health even in dry years.
- Utilising effective stubble management to hold soil moisture in increasing dry seasons
Explore how stubble management strategies like stubble retention, mulching, and shallow incorporation can enhance soil moisture and increase groundcover in increasingly variable and dryer seasons.
- Stubble Management Strategies in Focus
The recent WMG Crop Nutrition Day featured an interactive session on the Stubble Management Project. Discover insights and learnings from the event and the 2023 Stubble Management Project.
- Talking Crop Nutrition, Stubble Management & Risk
Discover the insights and key discussions from our recent Crop Nutrition Day, where local farmers and industry experts gathered for a deep dive into nutrient decisions, stubble management and risk in farming.
- Investigating Stubble Strategies – Is Burning the Answer?
Burning stubble may seem like a quick fix, but what are the hidden costs? The Stubble Management Project found retaining stubble offered no yield penalty while potentially boosting soil health and reducing input needs.
- Stubble Management Project – 2023 Seasonal Update
No significant differences in biomass production or crop yield were recorded across stubble management treatments in the 2023 season of the Stubble Management Project. Learn more about the 2023 results and 2024 season in this technical project update.
- October sampling rush before harvest
Every August and September at WMG there is a big focus for our big marquee events like the Spring Field Day and Student Crop Walk. Now that the events have wrapped up for the year, my focus moves over to final project sampling for 2023. Project site are spread across the region, ranging from Hill River and Badgingarra to Barberton and Gillingarra.
