    Project Details

    Richard Stone, an agricultural consultant, has initiated a pilot project utilizing Integrated Fertilizer Management (IFM) to optimize nutrient application, potentially increase crop yield, and promote carbon sequestration. This approach replaces 20% of soil-applied fertilizers with foliar applications to enhance nutrient uptake efficiency. A 46-hectare field in Hillston, New South Wales, serves as the test site. Richard's IFM strategy combines RLF seed nutrient primers and foliar fertilizers, supported by remote monitoring through EOSDA Crop Monitoring, which tracks crop health, moisture, and growth stages. This platform’s NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index) indices enable Richard to plan nutrient applications optimally, ensuring plants receive nutrients without field visits for each application. The pilot program also aims to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) levels, a requirement for eligibility under the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) scheme. This initiative could open new revenue streams for Australian farmers through carbon credits while promoting soil health and sustainable agriculture.
