Federally and industry funded projects aim to manage soil constraints and enhance drought resilience through different means, one of which is sub-surface application of soil ameliorants and fertilisers.

As two major projects in our region come to a close, it is time to take stock, see what results and learnings the projects delivered, and what the key take home messages are for farmers.

The event will cover:

• Soil constraints – causes, identification and remedies (Dr Y Dang, UQ)
• One soil constraint rarely comes on its own (C Leckie, USQ)
• When and where can deep placement of P fertilizer be a solution (Dr C Guppy, UNE)
• What are the options for organic farmers to overcome soil constraints (J Pettersson, AO)
• What did we learn from twenty on-farm trials in SEQ and CQ? (Dr B Wehr, UQ)
• Long-term strategies for managing sodic sub-soils in northern NSW / southern QLD (Dr R Flavel, UNE)
• Providing commercial sub-surface application services – experience from Victoria (S Falkiner, Terra Nova AG)
