Join SRA Agronomists Dr Danielle Skocaj, Erin Headon and Nancy Rincon to gain a better understanding of:
• Sugarcane soils: properties, processes and nutrient loss pathways
• The importance of balanced nutrition
• How to collect soil and leaf samples
• Interpreting soil test results
• Identifying nutrient requirements. Nutrient management plans and nitrogen and phosphorus (N&P) budgets.
At the workshop you will also have the chance to try out SRA’s new Online Sugarcane Nutrient Management program. A grower who successfully completes this training program can be considered an Appropriate Person under the definition of the Queensland Government’s Reef protection regulations. He/she will be able to develop and verify their farm’s own nitrogen and phosphorus budget (N&P budget) without needing to seek outside agronomic assistance. This applies on their own farm only.
No cost to attendees. Lunch provided.
Numbers limited to 10. RSVP now!
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own tablet or laptop.
