Soils, water, plant & animal & chemistry - Murdoch University scientists and students presenting at GRDC West #GrainsUpdates. Come and visit us at SoilsWest booth. Exciting progress and free to download soil quality ebooks.

Showcasing two posters, one on plastics in agriculture and another one on the role of soil fauna in nutrient transformations in agricultural soils. Find us at SoilsWest booth today and tomorrow GRDC West #GRDCUpdates

Congratulations to Robert Harrison, who has won the GRDC Emerging Leader award. An expert in the field of pasture legumes and farming systems, Rob is tackling some of the big challenges Australian farmers face in low-medium rainfall areas across the country.
