Dealing with variable nitrogen prices in cropping systems webinar – NSW, QLD (Video)

This Local Land Services NSW video discusses the impact of urea prices on gross margin, the impact of reduced nitrogen application rates, planting alternate crops (e.g. a legume in lieu of wheat) and going into fallow in lieu of planting. The webinar was presented in response to grower concerns in times of rapidly changing geo-political situations, and seasonal conditions. The speakers are James Hagan (Senior Economist, QLD Department of Primary Industries), Cameron Leckie (Regional Soils Coordinator at SQNNSW Innovation Hub), and Bill Manning (Senior Land Services Officer, North West Local Land Services). While the webinar specifically focuses on northern cropping regions, some of the information may be relevant to growers in other regions. #

Disclaimer:
This is a carefully curated database of important soil resources. The data base is not exhaustive but rather a library of what we believe are the most useful for the audience we are trying to serve – you. Where numerous items cover the same content, we have chosen the one we believe to be the best.

Each resource has been added after careful consideration against our selection criteria; including but not limited to its scientific validity, accessibility, and readability. The library does not include scientific journal literature as this is available via a number of other channels and is not considered to be the material the core audience for this list wants.

SSA reminds user of these resources that they are a guide only and due to regular advances in our understanding of soil science it is important to check the suitability of the information for your purpose with an appropriately qualified professional such as a RSP.

Resource Suggestion
Step 1 of 3

We welcome your suggestions about valuable soil resources that could be included in the Smart Soils Resource Library. Please read this information before proceeding. Please remember, this Resource Library does not include scientific journal articles.

New resources are evaluated by Soil Science Australia’s membership of soil specialists.

Each new library resource is added after careful consideration, it must:
1. demonstrate good quality soil science. The resources must be scientifically valid. Case studies that contribute significantly to the understanding of soil management in Australian regions are also accepted.
2. be relevant to Australian soils, condition, constraints and management practices
3. add value to the Resource Library. If there are multiple resources in the Resource Library on the same topic then the suggested resource must improve on the existing resources that address the topic.
4. be readily available preferably in an electronic version. Some books may be out of print but should be available in libraries or from second-hand booksellers. The file size of resources should enable easy downloading or streaming.
5. be written in language appropriate for the intended audience.

Preferably, the resource should also meet the requirements of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. to make web content more accessible and user friendly for everyone.
