Since 2014, the Soil Wealth and Integrated Crop Protection (Soil Wealth ICP) project has provided research and development (R&D) extension services, products and communication on improved soil management and plant health to the Australian vegetable and melon industry. The Australian melon industry joined the project in 2023.
The project responds to increasing economic, consumer, environmental and technological demands on vegetable and melon producers. It delivers integrated, independent, research-based information to growers and advisers to support business decisions on soil management and plant health.

The Soil Wealth ICP project is delivered by Applied Horticultural Research and RM Consulting Group (RMCG) and is funded by Hort Innovation using the vegetable and melon research and development levies and contributions from the Australian Government. Hort Innovation is the grower-owned, not-for-profit R&D corporation for Australian horticulture.
