As part of the SANTFA Soil Health Project, Dr Michael Nash sat down with farmer Gareth Scholz and agronomist Bella Heron to discuss the relationship between soil health and plant health.

2022 GREAT NITROGEN DEBATE was held Tuesday 22nd March from 7:30 am to 9:30 am via Zoom In the interim to our face to face conference, the SANTFA team have pulled together three great minds to discuss the merits of Nitrogen in your system. Dr James Hunt: " Do we need to build a N bank? Positive nitrogen balance is needed to maintain soil carbon." Peter Treloar: "Nitrogen response in Long term No Till. Does the rate of N application within a long term no till system have impact on yield?" Professor Roger Armstrong: "Are strategies based on high rates of fertiliser N the most effective strategy to meet long-term crop demand?" This discussion will be facilitated by our own R&D Manager Greg Butler. SANTFA Acknowledges the generosity of our private sponsors and our industry partners SAGIT, DEW, GRDC, Landscapes SA
