Join internationally acclaimed soil health consultant, Graeme Sait, for a day of insight into how you can build soil and plant health to increase profitability and reduce stress.

The course will involve a morning session where the mechanics of sustainable, highly productive macadamia farming will be discussed in depth. This will be followed by a more practical session where we will look at some soil and trees, monitor soil biology, demonstrate in-field, nutritional monitoring strategies and review relevant soil and leaf data.

This seminar is open to AMS members and levy payers only.

The morning session will involve the following:

1) Discover the relationship between minerals, microbes and humus and their interplay in determining productive potential

2) Understand the importance of often neglected trace minerals like silica, molybdenum, cobalt and boron 

3) Recognise the value of disease management strategies like immune elicitation, boosting cell wall strength, bioremediation and photosynthesis enhancement.

4) Learn seven key strategies to boost organic matter(humus), the single most important component of high production horticulture

5) Discover the six key mineral ratios to achieve on your soil test to boost productivity

6) Understand the profound link between nutrition and pest pressure

7) Realise the critical importance of tissue testing for precision management of nutrition and associated low-stress farming

8) Learn the mechanics and positive impact of on-farm composting

9) Discover the many benefits of cocktail cover cropping

10) Understand the key principles for successful foliar nutrition management.
