To (i) identify gaps in soil descriptions for the Esperance and Albany Zones (this project will assist growers to make better informed decisions when it comes to addressing their soil constraints and crop management decisions); and (ii) upskill growers and industry on the tools and models available to them and how to interpret the data generated from soil moisture probes through extension activities and workshops.
Key messages
This project has had a large impact on Albany and Esperance growers.
The underrepresented soil types are now predominantly covered making the Yield Prophet project more relevant to the area.
Growers can access the information in the paddock on smart phones and tablets.
This enables them to make better informed decisions when it comes to soil inputs and management.
