Host: DPIRD Research Agronomist Cindy Webster
Guest Speaker: DPIRD Research Scientist Craig Scanlan and CSBP Research Agronomist James Easton

In this episode of Grains Convo, DPIRD Research Scientist Craig Scanlan and CSBP Research Agronomist James Easton join Cindy Webster to chat about soil testing.

James details the importance of knowing what the nutrient levels are within the soil profile, as well as the best tips and tricks to attain the best possible soil samples.

Craig talks about a project he has been working on to increase profit from N, P, and K fertiliser inputs, with the research giving growers knowledge about what factors have the greatest influence on yield response to fertiliser.

The project is supported by a Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) co-investment and includes collaboration with SoilsWest, Murdoch University, The University of Western Australia, CSBP and Summit Fertilisers.
