Soil health and plant nutrition in Australian Apple and Pear orchards
The outcome of this project is to achieve more efficient use of resources (nutrients, water and soil) through improved orchard floor management to improve fruit quality outcomes. This project aims to increase understanding of how soils function with a particular focus on how soil biology contributes to apple and pear production. Understanding and mitigating spatial variation within the orchard and reducing the environmental footprint of apple and pear production will also be undertaken.
