Investigating the use of bioinoculants on arable crops

The aim of this project is to investigate if the application of bioinoculants and biostimulants would result in an increase in the beneficial microorganisms, and hopefully result in improved soil fertility and better crop yields. Yields will be recorded for every field at combine harvest of the oats, wheat and beans, comparing the treated areas with the control areas. This TOF will contribute to the Sustainable Land Management outcomes including:

  • Resilient and productive farms 
  • Reduce, reuse and recycle inputs, nutrients and waste 
  • Reduce on farm emissions and maximise carbon sequestration 
  • Protect and enhance the farm ecosystem
