Happy #NationalAgDay2022 to the WA farming community! 🚜🌾🐄🍇🌻 To celebrate, here's a quick whip-around of what some of our researchers are up to today 👇 Amber BC Carla Milazzo Ciara Beard Miranda Slaven Meredith_Guthrie

Does applying lime and sulphate of ammonia in close succession to soil containing residual lime increase NH3 volatilisation? Yes! Up to 25% of N volatilised in our glasshouse study.

Study finds increased risk of nitrogen losses when applying sulphate of ammonia to dry, limed soils. Read more ▶️ bit.ly/3XGQ4Nh Louise Barton UWA Research Murdoch University SoilsWest

We are recruiting! If you enjoy working outdoors, are keen to contribute to the Grains Industry, and want to gain experience coordinating field experiments, we are keen to hear from you! Applications close 30 January 2023 SoilsWest The UWA Institute of Agriculture UWA Research external.jobs.uwa.edu.au/en/job/513454/…

Many (many) thanks to DPIRDWA Esperance crew for helping to collect over 50 kg soil for ChelseaJanke and others as part of the GRDC N losses project. A fun day out in sunny Esperance UWA Research Tom Edwards SoilsWest Mark Farrell

Mini workshops in calculating your crop emissions available at Perth Research Updates. 10 places available. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock AgZero2030

👋 Come and say hello at #GRDCUpdates in Perth today and tomorrow!

Definitely not enough photos of soil profiles on Twitter, so enough this one from Tassie!

Sulfate of ammonia might be a cheaper source of nitrogen fertiliser, but the risk of volatilisation losses increases when it is applied in close succession to lime. UWA Research SoilsWest Louise Barton Read more: bit.ly/3Zm8aoT Photo: Evan Collis/GRDC

Field trips with UWA Students is the best part of teaching #soil #science at UWA! Big thanks to ENVT2236 students for their hard work & enthusiasm this weekend. Appreciate Fox Family for letting us dig on their property 👨‍🔬Andrew Rate 🌏💚 UWA SAgE National Soils Advocate Soil Science Australia

Very proud of these UWA Grads in Agriculture Science and Environmental Science. The future is bright for them and us!

In Dili this week to talk about soils, crops and biochar with MAF colleagues who are partners in our UWA-led project (AI-Com 2) funded by ACIAR. Here we are checking equipment in the MAF soils lab UWA Research The UWA Institute of Agriculture National Soils Advocate

Best way to look at soil? Dig a pit. Enjoyed spending time with these good people collecting bulk density samples to a meter for the GRDC national N loss project. Appreciate DPIRDWA Merredin crew for helping out. UWA Research The UWA Institute of Agriculture SoilsWest

Good to catch up the GRDC N Loss national project team. Today we visited Nigel Wilhelm & Luke Simpson’s field site on a Sodosol just outside of Adelaide. GRDC The UWA Institute of Agriculture UWA Research

Enjoying cycling through UWA campus on my way to Soil Science. The gardens around The School of Indigenous Studies are looking particularly lovely! UWA Research UWA Students

Heartfelt thanks to Graeme and Marcelle Stirling for giving their time freely to teach UWA Students UWA Research staff, DPIRDWA staff, and industry about identifying nematodes. Great collaboration between UWA Soils and DPIRD. GRDC

Are you considering applying sulphate of ammonia to recently limed soils? Louise Barton from The UWA Institute of Agriculture has updated research findings. Download our new nitrogen fertiliser management fact sheet for best practice advice 👉 bit.ly/3LzgzQX

Great piece of work by our former Honours student from UWA! UWA Soils UWA Research The UWA Institute of Agriculture UWA Students

🌱Soil CRC researchers at Federation University are keen to hear how #farmers are using #soilindicators to support their farming practices. Take this short survey to help us identify what indicators work best and where 👉tinyurl.com/soilindicators

Dylan Hirsch Adam Smith The colours aren't the best, but here's a map of % of years below decile 2 for 2000-2023. Jurien and Cape Leeuwin have spent 50% of the last 23 years decile 2 or below in May-Oct. Followed by Wyalkatchem, Lake Grace, Moora, Pingaring and Holt Rock. Best place to be is Walpole 16%
