Making sense of soil indicators
| Posted Nov 02,2023
Farmers, agronomists and researchers are being invited to participate in a project that looks at the factors influencing their decisions about soil indicators – the tools that evaluate soil performance and help farmers make informed decisions about soil health on their property.
The project aims to identify what indicators work best for different farming systems and regions and provide information and guidance for growers to pick the best indicators for their production systems.
The research, led by Dr Nathan Robinson, Assoc Prof Peter Dahlhaus, Dr Alison Ollerenshaw, Dr Aakansha Chadha and Jennifer Corbett from the Centre for eResearch and Digital Innovation at Federation University (CeRDI), is being delivered by the Soil CRC.
Dr Robinson says the project aims to help growers, advisers and scientists identify the best indicators for their needs and location.
