Landcare Build Skills - Soil Management Practices

In this engaging online Landcare Builds Skills session, landcarers will delve into the fascinating world of soil microbes, gaining a foundational understanding of their roles in ecosystem health. The session will introduce key microbial groups and explore their living requirements, supplemented by live video streams showcasing these essential organisms in action. Join our guest speakers, Ellen Walker and Mark Tupman, as they provide a brief discussion on soil structure and nutrient cycling to illuminate how plants access vital nutrients and how healthy soil supports this process. Additionally, landcarers will learn about Plant Soil Management (PSM) strategies for enhancing pest and disease resistance. Our speakers will share practical recipes for creating and utilising beneficial microbial cultures, empowering landcarers to manage their farmscapes effectively and support robust microbial populations for sustainable agriculture and increased productivity.
