SUMMARY:Webinar: Soil Carbon in SA: What Builds It\, What Loses It\, and What You Can Influence
DESCRIPTION:Landscape SA is offering a free series of topic-specific carbon farming webinars\, delivered by South Australia’s Landscape Boards alongside trusted external experts. \nYou are invited to register for the upcoming webinar: Soil Carbon in SA: What Builds It\, What Loses It\, and What You Can Influence on 25th March 2026\, to be delivered via the MS Teams Webinar platform. \nSoil carbon is often talked about as a quick win\, but the reality in South Australian farming systems is more complex. Soil type\, rainfall\, history and management all play a major role in how much carbon a soil can hold — and whether that carbon can realistically be increased. \nThis webinar will unpack the realities of soil carbon in South Australia\, including what drives soil organic carbon up or down and where the real opportunities sit across different soil types and rainfall zones. We will explain South Australian soil carbon benchmarks\, what they represent\, and how growers can use them to understand whether their soils have potential to build carbon or whether the priority should be protecting what is already there. \nProducers will leave with a practical understanding of what affects soil carbon in their paddocks\, how to interpret benchmarks\, and what management actions are likely — or unlikely — to make a difference in SA conditions. \nDr Amanda Schapel is Principal Officer for Soil Action with PIRSA and leads the South Australian Soils Collaboration Centre. With nearly 30 years’ hand-on experience in agricultural soils\, she specialises in soil carbon and soil function. Amanda’s benchmarking work helps growers understand where soils have real potential to build carbon — and where carbon needs protecting. \nThis webinar is delivered with funding support from the Commonwealth of Australia through the Department of Climate Change\, Energy\, the Environment and water under the Carbon Farming Outreach Program.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Biostimulant Products: Cutting through the noise
DESCRIPTION:This practical webinar will provide a clear\, non-technical overview of biological products\, with a focus on biostimulants such as humates\, amino acids and seaweed extracts. We’ll explain what these products are (and are not)\, and where they typically sit in vegetable systems — including soil health\, nutrient cycling\, root establishment and crop resilience. \nThe session will also cover the regulatory landscape and Fertilizer Australia’s Biostimulant Code of Practice\, helping growers understand levels of assurance and what to look for in the marketplace. \nA key focus will be evidence and efficacy — why results vary\, what “good evidence” looks like. We’ll finish with practical tips on questions to ask suppliers\, how to trial products effectively on-farm\, and a brief update on the SWICP Biological Products Database. \nThis webinar is designed to help growers and advisors make informed\, confident decisions about biological products.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Resistance Management
DESCRIPTION:This webinar gives growers a real-life example of how good stewardship and resistance management benefit them and their industry. This webinar also provides extension officers with valuable skills for driving engagement and promoting industry-minded behaviour amongst growers. \nThis event is open to all growers\, extension officers and interested parties and is FREE to attend. \nDominic Reisig (North Carolina State University\, USA) is an extension specialist and researcher supporting broadacre row crops\, including corn\, cotton\, peanuts\, and soybeans. He studies insect pest management and how to slow resistance to Bt crops. \nDrawing on U.S. experience with Bt corn and cotton and caterpillar pests such as corn earworm\, Dominic will outline the resistance problem\, why stewardship is essential\, and how behaviour-change approaches were used to shift practices. The session will include what was recommended\, what worked (and what didn’t)\, and lessons relevant beyond broadacre cropping.
