Aim is to identify soil health trends and significant measurers or indicators of soil health – correlated with yield and fertiliser inputs – in five innovative cropping systems located in or close to the service area of the Gillamii Centre. Taking on a holistic approach this project looks at the inter-relation physical, chemical and biological characteristics of soil in relation to yield and fertiliser inputs under a range of management regimes will enhance understanding of how to transition to a more biological cropping systems. Summer cropping, pro-tracker seeding equipment, chicken manure recycling, high input are the cropping systems and aims.
