Exploring Novel Soil Amendments in the Future Carbon Project
At the Future Carbon Project trial site, novel soil amendments like Ironman Gypsum, Compost, Biochar, and Frass are being stacked with amelioration methods. Read on to learn more about their characteristics and possible benefits to soil health.
Adapting Grazing Strategies for Year-Round Success
A challenging start to 2024 emphasised the importance of flexible grazing strategies at the Warradarge Feed365 Project site. Explore how plans have adapted to make the most of available resources.
How does crop species influence subsoil potassium cycling?
Investigate how different crop species influence subsoil potassium cycling and the impact of deep ripping on potassium uptake and biomass production with results from the K Extension Project Yathroo trial site.
Capturing the benefit of increased plant growth following amelioration
How can we get the most out of increased plant biomass in the first year of soil amelioration? Read on to explore insights for grain-and-graze, hay production and other mixed farming systems.
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.
How does ameliorating gravel soils affect weed populations?
Explore how the results from the first year of the Soil Water Repellence Project have demonstrated that soil amelioration methods can have significant added benefits such as reducing weed populations.
