Extending results from the Soil CRC Plant Diversity project

This project is extending results from a Soil CRC project, focussing on the benefits, challenges and economic realities of using cover and companion crops to boost soil health for drought resilience in the Riverine Plains.
Carbon farming outreach program

This project is part of the National Industry-Led Carbon Farming Outreach Program which is supporting farmers and land managers to reduce emissions and explore carbon farming opportunities.
Building soil carbon through land management strategies

This project supports NSW farmers in the Riverine Plains to explore their soil carbon potential and showcases eligible land management practices best suited for potential soil carbon projects.
Diagnosis frameworks for multiple and complex soil constraints

This project will help Australian farmers identify and ameliorate constrained soils, helping to improve soil health and productivity.
Link between cereal stubble, subsurface acidity and crown rot

Good seasons, stubble retention and tight cereal rotations have favoured a build-up of Fusarium crown rot in the Riverine Plains. Crown rot can cause significant yield loss, and we are investigating the potential link between it, subsurface acidity and different stubble management techniques.
Machine learning for managing soil constraints

This project aims to develop a computer-based technology to help farmers find tailored solutions when managing multiple soil constraints like sodicity, acidity, and salinity. The aim is to increase productivity and profitability using precise, data-driven strategies.
Building soil resilience & carbon through plant diversity

This project is identifying ways to build resilient soils and enhance carbon stocks in cropping systems, using a range of species in cover cropping and companion crop plantings.
Visualising Australasia’s soils

This project is increasing the knowledge and understanding of local soils, helping researchers to develop ideas to improve the sustainability of farms in the Riverine Plains.
Assessing soil water storage

The project will assist farmers in improving water and resource use in crops grown on soils with constraints.
Optimising soils and available water to improve drought resilience

This project aims to show how farmers can use legumes, early sowing and nitrogen banking to safeguard the natural capital of soils for environmental and economic sustainability.
