This project aims to provide “the why” behind the decisions SA farmers need to make in relation to adopting practices to address the range of SA specific soils characteristics, soil biology, subsoil constraints, soil nutrition dynamics, etc. It will do this by posing a series of specific questions about soils from an on-farm management perspective.
The series of questions and answers (101 in total) will also address common misconceptions held by some farmers and advisers, and provide the reasoning behind how recommended practices address or overcome specific production constraints.
