Wed 21st Feb - Soil Testing Program - Results Workshop
Event description
Join our experts from Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) and local agronomists to receive your soil test results and learn more about managing nutrients on your farm.
Now more than ever, it is important to be efficient with fertiliser use. These soil test results will help you make an evidence-based fertiliser purchase and potentially save you money on nutrients that aren't required, as well as save excess nutrients from entering our waterways.
At this workshop you will:
- Receive your whole-farm nutrient maps and results from your soil testing
- Learn how to interpret soil test results and whole-farm nutrient maps
- Receive advice regarding soil and plant nutrition, soil acidity and liming
- Learn how to use the DPIRD Nutrient Calculator
- Nominate a Fertcare agronomist to develop your 2024 fertiliser plan.
- Network with other Geographe farmers
Lunch served at 11.45am with workshop commencing at 12.30pm. Afternoon tea provided. Following the workshop, we'd love you to stay for a Sundowner refreshments in the garden.
