To improve soil health and sustainable soil management practices in the region.

The demo sites fit into the objectives of the HSSF project which are:

• Improve farmers’ capacity to manage soil health issues
• Identify appropriate soil management strategies, both at a landscape and industry level
• Develop and deliver data and information packages for farmers
• Develop and promote industry based training packages

To quantify how nitrogen application and timing (upfront versus stem elongation) influences the need for disease control in a susceptible wheat cultivar.

Since these inoculants have not had widespread use, the aim in this study was to test these new delivery systems and their effect on nodulation grain legumes in a range of Australian soils.
