King Island Soil Nutrient Balance Field Trials

This project will improve ecosystem services and sustainable management of the King Island landscape by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of fertiliser application. Trials will compare the effectiveness of the Albretch principles of soil balance with conventional practice to maximise health and productivity of soil, plants and livestock. The number of farmers adopting practices that improve soil quality thereby increasing long-term returns will be increased through King Island Beef Producers Group engagement, farmer participation in trials and uptake of a new fertiliser regime if results show improvement in productivity, soil quality and economic outcomes.
