Workshops will be held across the South West and South Coast this February to provide farmers with the tools and knowledge to optimise their production through tailored fertiliser management.
Interactive sessions will focus on the science behind soil testing, constraints to production including the role of pH in nutrient availability, how to read nutrient maps and how to calculate optimal fertiliser rates from soil test results.
Farmers involved in the Regional Estuaries Initiative’s soil testing program will also be given their results from soil testing carried out over the 2019/20 summer period. The sessions are open to previous participants of the program and other local farmers, too.
To register your attendance, contact your local catchment officer (details below). Please include any dietary requirements as light lunch will be provided.
