Improving Soil Carbon - Webinar
Dr Susan Orgill, Leader, Soil R&D South, Soil and Water R&D Unit, NSW DPI
This webinar focused on increasing awareness about the local research into building soil carbon, and practical strategies to build soil organic carbon on farm.
From the Ground Up Increasing
Soil Carbon
Increasing soil carbon to ameliorate compaction in irrigated soils The aim of the site is to test the theory that we need to incorporate and rapidly break down crop residues to create soil organic matter, rather than just leave stubbles on the soil surface.
Identifying and Managing Soil Constraints - Webinar
Understanding your Soils - Soil Pit Workshop
What Does Net Zero Mean? - Webinar
Dr Cassandra Schefe; Leader of the “Cool Soil Initiative”, an industry program to support reductions in GHG emissions in cropping, and Dr Kate Burke agri-strategist, author and keynote speaker. This program focuses on the impact of net zero to the activities and practices of irrigation and mixed business farmers and discusses how they can prepare.
Irrigated Soil Amelioration Trials
Soil improvement trials carried out as part of the Optimising Irrigated Grains Project.
Deep Ripping to Increase Access to Stored Soil Moisture
The aim of the focus paddock was to see if deep ripping could increase the size of the bucket (plant available water) by removing any compaction and allowing roots to access stored moisture deeper into the soil profile. The focus paddock was under a lateral move irrigator in a paddock that had been unfarmed for several years. With the help of TTQ engineering a strip running the entire length of the paddock was ripped prior to a canola crop in 2021.
