Join our virtual farm walk via Facebook Live stream between 12-1pm to hear the latest updates from our Werribee South VIC demonstration site.

Fresh Select and the Soil Wealth and ICP team have been exploring how to lessen the effects of high water and soil salinity and soil sodicity on vegetable crops over the past 2 years, while reduce input costs related to current management approaches.

AHR’s Marc Hinderager and Soilpack Services’ Ian Packer will team up to deliver a webinar on the challenges and complexity of estimating mineralisation rates in soils.

Ian runs his own consultancy service and has over 45 years experience in soil research and extension, recently delivering “Train the Trainer” workshops across NSW.
