Sandy soils, new solutions: Insights from a Soil CRC project – Podcast (2026)
In this episode of the Mallee Sustainable Farming ‘Farm Talk’ podcast, PIRSA’s Amanda Schapel shares insights from the long-running, collaborative, Soil CRC sandy soil project. The project investigated how clay and organic amendments can improve the productivity and resilience of sandy soils through literature reviews, pot trials and long-term multi-site field research.

A coordinated and consistent approach to managing and enabling soil data – Research findings fact sheet
Led by Associate Professor Nathan Robinson, this project (2.2.005) aimed to develop a coordinated approach to soil data management that could be used across Soil CRC projects, supporting secure storage, discovery and reuse of data. Read our research findings fact sheet.
Sniffing the soil to gauge soil biological activity – Research findings fact sheet
Led by Dr Shane Powell, the aim of this project (2.1.005) was to develop a low-cost electronic nose (e-Nose) for detecting changes in soil biological activity. The project designed and built the QUOLL® e-Nose, a field-deployable device that can detect changes in soil biological activity. Read our research findings fact sheet.
