Phosphorus plays a critical role in soil fertility and crop growth. But do you know your SOM from your PBI? And do you know what a P response curve is and why it’s important to both famers and our waterways??
The Story of P, a great webinar hosted by Lower Blackwood Landcare, explains what phosphorus is and how it becomes ‘locked’ in our soil. This complex process is broken down beautifully by Dr Cassandra Schefe, who is joined by DWER’s Dr Kath Lynch and Rob McFerran for an update on #uPtake fertiliser trials results.

NATIONAL AGRICULTURE DAY 🚜
Celebrating #agday and the hard work of all our farmers in the Geographe Bay Catchment. Also celebrating our Sustainable Agriculture team (some of them also farmers) and our partners without whom our important work wouldn't be possible.
This year we are reminded that #weareaausfarmers; part of the same cycle trying to create a better future for our families and our environment. No matter whether you are bush-based, a 'townie' or city folk! Keep that in mind when you have dinner on the table tonight!
The Community's voice in the Catchment since 1997
