Aim to develop kinowledge and skills in improved soil moisture profile management to reduce yield loss and maximise profitability. Three moisture probes were established on Felix Farm north west of Ariah Park and Bellevue, south west of Ariah Park.
Key messages
The moisture probe network has been a great tool to teach growers in the region how to read moisture graphs and use this data to make informed managements decisions. Growers can see how various urea application rates and stubble cover effect soil moisture.
