So we ran a cellulose-digesting inoculum on windrowed wheat stubble.
Start: 10.7 t/ha
Untreated at 40 days: 8.75
Treated: 5.05
18% breakdown untreated, over half gone treated. Season suited it, so strong end of the range.
About half the organic carbon in cropland topsoil isn't plant residue. It's dead microbes.
Two thirds of that is fungal, because fungal cell compounds break down slowly and persist.
Wang et al 2021, Soil Biology & Biochemistry. 1,716 soil samples.
Fungal metabolites are largely organic acids. They build humic-rich organic matter that resists degradation and can stay in the soil for hundreds of years.
Which population breaks your stubble down is not a small detail.
Big yields are on the cards. What about protein?
Higher yields often come with a protein penalty, and the APW to ASW spread is widening.
N Carb is a late season foliar N, gentle on the leaf, and it goes in with your final fungicide pass. Talk to us about whether it stacks up.
Bean crops looking a treat from Riverton and Snowtown to Cleve and Cummins. Flowering well, podding still to come.
Heading into pod fill, NutriMAX PhosCal tank mixes with your final fungicide pass. One pass, two jobs.
Talk to our agronomists about your paddock.

What a lovely photo of Nathan, Colin & Family!
Thank you @theweeklytimes for sharing their story! For @VicNotill for hosting the field day. And to our very own Rodney Capon for helping the Kemps with their farm nutrition transformation! https://t.co/NpPl2sN5dd
Brothers Nathan and Colin Kemp of Birchip, Vic are using nutrition in their traditionally conventional mixed farming system, reducing their urea costs: $180k to $50k a year and improving yields. https://t.co/FrpG8prKus Join the field walk 24th July. https://t.co/9lhJIHKubr
With shortages of fertiliser setting in, LawrieCo is proud to offer granular fert options:
BioComplete: formulated with a Guano Phosphorous, Nitrogen, Sulphur, and Humic Acid - all in one granule,
Guano Granules: Phosphorus & Calcium.
π Both great options available now.
