This project (4.2.004) established four on-farm field experiments in 2022 to test new practices and products for ameliorating multiple soil constraints across key soil types in the Australian grains and sugarcane industries. Read our research findings fact sheet to learn more.

Led by Professor Keith Pembleton, this project (4.3.005) developed and tested a framework for diagnosing multiple soil constraints using publicly available data and farmers’ own data. Read our research findings fact sheet.

In this video, Soil CRC researcher Dr Chloe Lai (University of Southern Queensland) explains the Gypsy Calculator tool for modelling sodic soil amelioration. This work is part of the Soil CRC’s ‘Improving decision support systems’ project (4.3.002). Watch the video.

This research looks at the review and identification of soil constraints as determined by the scientific literature, soil researchers, advisers and industry stakeholders. Read our project fact sheet.

The ‘Integrated solutions for accessing soil moisture’ project (4.2.004) aimed to quantify crop responses to different management practices on key soils across 4 cropping regions. Read case study.

This fact sheet supports the ‘Deep ripping, claying and manuring on sandy soils in the Wimmera’ webinar hosted by Soil CRC Community of Practice participant Kate Maddern, Birchip Cropping Group (BCG). Read fact sheet.

This project (3.3.003) assessed the use of novel amendments to increase the reactive surface area of sands and thereby improve delivery of water and nutrients to plant roots. Read our research findings fact sheet to learn more.

The aim of the ‘New farming methods to sequester soil carbon’ project (4.1.006) 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 case study.

This report summarises findings of the project ‘More profitable crops on highly calcareous soils by improving early vigour and overcoming soil constraints’ (4.2.003), from four years of activities where the first three years were initially contracted and then extended for a fourth year. Read report.
