Efficacy and longevity of biological amendments in a farming system – WA (Video)
In this video, from the Soil Quality Knowledge Base, Lynette Abbott explains that while soil biological process are essential to sustain agricultural production there is little evidence of the efficacy of biological inputs within the broadacre dry-land grains farming areas. It explains that there are a variety of products available (including manures and composts) but also differing soil types soils on which they are applied. Long term, consistent trials are recommended. While the content focuses on Western Australia, the information is applicable to other Australian regions [1:22].#
This is a carefully curated database of important soil resources. The data base is not exhaustive but rather a library of the resources we believe are the most useful for the audience. 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 generally does not include most academic research papers but may include some open-source papers written in accessible English.
