🎥 Introducing the Sandy Soils II Project! 🌾 In collaboration with GRDC South, CSIRO, @UniSA, University of Sydney, and many others, we're tackling challenges in sandy landscapes through innovative research and practical solutions. 🧵

Join us on the 27 of August to inspect GRDC funded NSW Mallee trials and other points of interest including discussion with Mel Fraser and Therese Mcbeath. Meet at 8.15am at Gol Gol hotel or join us at Petro Station from 9.30 am. More info in link bit.ly/NSWMalleetrial…

Join us on 28th August at Walpeup to see our new GRDC South sandy soils trials with a special focus on soil acidity. Includes a presentation from @DrJasonCondon and info from Mel Fraser and Therese Mcbeath . Event followed by a social golf day. Register: bit.ly/3WrXtRs

Great to be out and about showcasing our local trials in the NSW and Vic Mallee. Pulse agronomy, N management, rotations, soil amelioration, soil acidification and liming. Thanks to Mel Fraser Therese Mcbeath @DrJasonCondon for sharing your knowledge with us this week👏

Improvements in Water use showing up under tough conditions. Combined effect of ripping and mixing on the left versus un ameliorated on the right under low N inputs at Wharminda EP with Andrew Ware GRDC South Sandy Soils II … thanks Brett masters for pic!

With field day season over, biomass cuts continue at Walpeup with the CSIRO team. 330 lentil samples across our paddock strip and replicated plot trials for the new GRDC South sandy soils project. Very timely as the frost has taken most of the pods😢 Therese Mcbeath Kenton Porker

Awesome footage by Stacey from Stacey Solomon of the Ag. Machinery R&D Centre - AMRDC Active Inclusion Ripping system working in the Vic Mallee. We are combining this with nutrition treatments to build fertility and push yield frontiers for the GRDC South #sandysoils project Therese Mcbeath Kenton Porker

Another GRDC Sandy Soils II long term site being set up near Balaklava SA… Removing physical constraints 🥊👊 with the UniSA engineering team!!

1 solitary Canola seedling “survived” since sowing 3rd Apr into different water potentials (up to 15mm of “rainfall”) in SA Mallee despite 10-30% germ. Highlights how the rules change with early sowing in the absence of subsoil moisture in hot & dry seedbeds! GRDC CSIRO
