Riverine Plains installed on-farm weather stations with soil moisture probes at Bungeet and Miepoll in 2017 and soil pits were established next to the weather station sites.
“By looking at the soils pits, the 2017 soil test results, as well as the local weather and soil moisture probe data, we can a put together a story about soil water movement and where nutrients, such as nitrogen, went last season,” Riverine Plains research and extension officer Cassandra Schefe said.
The sessions are at 10am at Bungeet and 2pm at Miepoll. To register contact Riverine Plains on (03) 5744 1713 or visit riverineplains.org.au.
