Now there is another place to access a lot of information contained in the Soil Quality ebooks. Plus much much more.
Well done SoilWest and all the fantastic contributors of evidence based content.

Are you are a WA grower and what are your thoughts on traceability? If you have 15 minutes @Manu_Gomez_14 would you appreciate your thoughts on the subject!

What you say and what consumers say will influence what might unfold regarding traceability.

One of the 3 new winged bean varieties released thru the @ACIARAustralia ‘Seeds of Life’ & Agricultural Innovations for Communities project in 2023 was identified by Prof Erskine in the 1970s, via a connection made possible through international cooperation in germplasm exchange.

Best way to celebrate Soil World Day? Dig a soil pit, discuss, and then go have lunch! Fun morning with UWA soil scientists and PhD Students at the UWA Shenton Park Field Station. Any guesses on the soil type? @SoilsWest @UWAresearch @IOA_UWA

Roots run deep session - exploring indigenous knowledge of restoration and themes for the new #HealingCountry ARC Training Centre. Great to have these conversations - how do we make sure we communicate different needs to different communities.

Applying lime and sulphate of ammonia in close succession before seeding saw up to 20% of N volatilised in our glasshouse study. Time to see if residual lime has the same effect @UWAsoils @UWAresearch @IOA_UWA @theGRDC @RowanMaddern @Daniel_V_Murphy @FG_piccadilly @PaulDamon1
