From Trial Strips to N Decisions: VRT Forum Insights
<p>In this episode of the MSF Farm Talk podcast, we revisit Mallee Sustainable Farming's <strong>Variable Rate Technology Forum</strong> held in Lameroo in March, where Kylie catches up with Pete Treloar after a series of pre-seeding VRT workshops across the South Australian Mallee.</p> <p>Pete shares what recent trial work is revealing about applying phosphorus and nitrogen more strategically using VRT. He explains why many paddocks in a low-yielding season showed little response to additional phosphorus, how test strips can help validate decisions, and why some high-performing soil zones continue to justify greater investment.</p> <p>The conversation also explores how combining soil moisture, nitrogen testing, yield maps and local knowledge can help growers better target inputs, reduce unnecessary fertiliser costs and improve confidence in variable rate decisions across contrasting seasons.</p> <p>Whether you're already using VRT or considering where to start, <strong>this episode offers practical insights into making fertiliser decisions</strong> that are backed by data and local experience.</p> <p>This podcast episode is supported by the Murraylands and Riverland Landscape Board and the Australian Government through funding from the National Heritage Trust under the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program.</p> <p>Subscribe to MSF Farm Talk so you never miss an episode!</p><p><a href="https://msfp.org.au/about/membership/" rel="payment">Support the show: https://msfp.org.au/about/membership/</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Sandy Soils, New Solutions: Insights from Soil CRC Project
<p>In this episode of the MSF Farm Talk podcast, PIRSA’s Amanda Schapel shares insights from the long-running, collaborative, Soil CRC Sandy Soil Project. The project is investigating how clay and organic amendments can improve the productivity and resilience of sandy soils through literature reviews, pot trials and long-term multi-site field research.</p> <p>Amanda explains why sandy soils can behave so differently depending on factors such as depth to clay, grain size and rainfall environment, while also outlining the multiple constraints often present in sandy systems, including compaction, acidity, water repellence, and poor nutrient and water-holding capacity.</p> <p>Drawing on a review of 89 projects and 270 treatments, the episode explores how organic amendments can rapidly improve deep sandy soils, although benefits may decline after several years, while subsoil clay provides a slower but more persistent productivity response. Amanda also discusses the performance of novel amendments including bentonite, zeolite and compost products, highlighting the importance of matching amendments to specific soil constraints and balancing long-term benefits with cost-effectiveness.</p> <p>Project page with additional resources including research report, fact sheets and webinars: <a href="https://soilcrc.com.au/projects/new-amendments-for-sandy-soils/">https://soilcrc.com.au/projects/new-amendments-for-sandy-soils/</a></p> <p>This work has been supported by the Cooperative Research Centre for High Performance Soils, whose activities are funded by the Australian Government's Cooperative Research Centres Program.</p><p><a href="https://msfp.org.au/about/membership/" rel="payment">Support the show: https://msfp.org.au/about/membership/</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

Exploring Crop Rotation and Legume Integration: Year 1 Insights from the Millewa - with Louise Brok
<p>Mallee Sustainable Farming Research Officer Louise Brok shares insights from the Millewa long-term crop rotation trial established in 2025 in the Victorian Mallee. The trial is evaluating pulse-inclusive farming systems, featuring 50% legumes across five fully phased rotations over four years. The project is investigating profitability, nitrogen fixation and fertiliser requirements, and groundcover retention. Designed for the low-organic-carbon sandy soils of the region, the work aims to test and validate farming systems that improve both productivity and resilience in high-risk environments.</p> <p>Despite an extremely dry 2025 season — with crops dry sown on 5 May and receiving only around 90 mm of growing-season rainfall — the trials still delivered valuable early insights.</p> <p>This episode explores the first-year results from the crop rotation and legume integration trial, along with additional demonstrations including wheat–vetch intercropping with varying vetch termination timings and a MAP fertiliser rate demonstration.</p> <p>📄 Year 1 Results Fact Sheet: <a href="https://msfp.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Millewa-Fact-Sheet-Year-1.pdf">Millewa Fact Sheet Year 1</a><br>📋 Legume based cropping systems project page: <a href="https://msfp.org.au/projects/legume-based-cropping-systems/">Legume Based Cropping Systems - Mallee Sustainable Farming</a></p> <p>This project is supported by the Australian Government through funding from the Natural Heritage Trust under the Climate-Smart Agriculture Program.</p><p><a href="https://msfp.org.au/about/membership/" rel="payment">Support the show: https://msfp.org.au/about/membership/</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
