Focus on Phosphorus Forum

August 28 @ 8:45 am - 12:30 pm

Keen to get your phosphorus management back on track? Not sure where to start? Concerns about the effect of the season on P application?

Join leading researchers in the field to understand best practice management of calcareous soils and the use of phosphorus fertiliser, and how P is used in our farming systems.

Hear about the recently commenced South Australian Grains Trust (SAGIT) phosphorus project.

This Forum is designed for farmers and agronomists keen to dive deeper into phosphorus and its role in crop nutrition — covering its behaviour, challenges and application.
A dedicated Q&A session will provide a valuable opportunity to have your specific questions addressed. 

Presenters and Topics:

  • Adam Hancock, Agronomist – SAGIT phosphorus project introduction and variable rate application
  • Therese McBeath, CSIRO – Understanding constraints to phosphorus on calcareous soils
  • Nigel Wilhelm, SARDI – Phosphorus sources and strategy
  • Dr Sean Mason – Soil testing options and critical values
  • Dr Mel Fraser, Soil Function Consulting – Practical Decisions

Morning tea and light lunch provided.
