Unlocking the Nutrients in Your Soil with Joel Williams

In this practical and informative workshop, Joel will explore: • How nutrients cycle between soil, plants and soil organisms. • Why nutrients can become "locked up" and unavailable to crops and pastures. • The critical role of soil biology in releasing, storing and cycling nutrients. • How bacteria, fungi, earthworms and other soil organisms contribute to soil fertility. • Common soil constraints that limit nutrient availability and cycling. • Practical management strategies that can improve nutrient efficiency and plant access to nutrients. • Opportunities to support soil and plant health while getting more value from your fertiliser investment. Whether you're looking to improve soil health, increase fertiliser efficiency or better understand the biology beneath your feet, this workshop will provide insights you can apply back on-farm. Morning tea and lunch provided. This project is supported by the Australian Government through funding from the Natural Heritage Trust under the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program.
