Project 4.1.004 Regenerative farming systems
Dr Gwen Grelet Project Leader Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research NZ A growing number of innovative farmers are attempting to restore or improve…
Project 4.1.005 Evaluating ecosystems role in increasing soil carbon and soil resilience
Led by Dr Mehran Rezaei Rashti from Griffith University, this project (4.1.005) examined how land management practices affect soil resilience, with the goal of identifying which practices build more resilient soils and under what conditions they are most likely to benefit farmers. Learn more.
Project 4.1.006 New farming methods to sequester soil carbon
The aim of this project was to trial, measure and demonstrate crop sequencing and new technologies that can sequester organic carbon, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and improve soil fertility in crop production systems that have traditionally struggled to accumulate carbon. Read about our research findings.
Project 4.1.007 Building soil resilience and carbon through plant diversity
Dr Terry Rose Project Leader Southern Cross University Many farmers want to improve their soil resilience to sustainably increase their productivity. This…
Project 4.2.001 Improved management of herbicide residues in soil
Dr Michael Rose Project Leader NSW Department of Primary Industries The loss of productivity due to herbicide residues as a soil constraint…
Project 4.2.002 Addressing complex soil constraints
Dr Jason Condon Project Leader Charles Sturt University Australian soils commonly exhibit multiple constraints to plant productivity. Soil sodicity, acidity, nutrient deficiencies…
Project 4.2.003 Overcoming soil constraints in highly calcareous soils
Led by Dr Nigel Wilhelm from Primary Industries and Regions SA, this project (4.2.003) focused on identifying practical approaches to improve soil condition, early crop vigour, and crop productivity on calcareous soil in the south-east and upper Eyre Peninsula of South Australia.
