Get the Dirt on Soil Amendments with Professor Terry Rose
For generations, farmers have recognised the value of organic amendments, but questions remain about how best to use them in modern farming systems. In this episode of Wheatbelt NRM in the Field, host Aimee Mouritz delves into organic amendments with Professor Terry Rose from Southern Cross University and Soil CRC.
This interview explores how animal manures can contribute to nutrient efficiency and soil health, including how the phosphorus in manure compares with traditional phosphorus fertilisers such as MAP and superphosphate.
Gain valuable insights such as the importance of testing manure before application, the variability between manure sources, and the additional benefits of nutrients and carbon provided by organic amendments in under thirty minutes!
