Led by A/Prof Jason Condon from Charles Sturt University, this project (4.2.002) investigated the effectiveness of inorganic and organic amendment to soils to overcome yield restrictions induced by the soil. Read the final project report.

Led by Dr Michael Rose from the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development. this project developed over 80 new herbicide-soil-crop critical damage thresholds that can help growers and advisers interpret soil and plant tissue tests. Read our research findings fact sheet.

Led by Dr Jason Condon from Charles Sturt University, this project investigated whether applying inorganic and organic amendments to surface and subsoil layers can improve plant performance on soils with multiple chemical and physical constraints. Read our research findings fact sheet.

Herbicides are widely used in Australian agricultural systems for weed control. Some herbicides can persist in soil long enough to carry over from one cropping season to the next, which can pose a risk of injuring the following crop. Led by Dr Mick Rose, this project (4.2.001) aimed to develop new knowledge and tools for managing herbicide residues in soil. Read the final project report.

An inventory of Decision Support Systems (DSS) and Tools (DST) designed specifically for soil management, or for farm enterprises with a soil emphasis. This document identifies existing (2018) systems and tools designed to assist farmer decision making associated with soil management, comments on their currency and considers the potential for the Soil CRC to further evaluate them and/or use them to assist farmer decision making in the future.

This fact sheet outlines the research findings from the Soil CRC’s plant-based solutions to improve soil performance project (4.1.002) led by Professor Terry Rose from Southern Cross University.
