Maintain the longevity of soils constraints investments and increase grower adoption through extension - western region

While there is already a wealth of research and other information available on soil constraints and amelioration thereof, on-farm adoption is stymied by practical and logistical problems and uncertainties. Much understanding about solutions to these barriers exist in knowledge silos among growers, advisers and researchers, but are not addressed in currently available information. This project will identify the main knowledge gaps, find the missing snippets of information and practical solutions, and deliver them to growers. Delivery that includes peer-to-peer learning and 'proof in the paddock' will further increase adoption and build on the foundations laid by SCW1 projects. This project forms a bridge between past GRDC research investment in soil constraints. It aims to prolong the on-farm effects of this investment by filling an extension gap with implementable information while new research is underway. It also has potential to identify research gaps for new projects.
