Soil Constraints

Identifying and managing soil constraints
This project is supported by GRDC
What are the major soil constraints affecting your farm?

– Low organic matter?
– Another issue?
This project included a soil pit workshop and webinar to assist farmers to learn more about soil constraints: how to identify them in the paddock and how to manage them.
