Two demonstration trial sites were established under the Soils in Action project, run by AUSVEG SA, to showcase compost use in commercial vegetable production.
The aim was to improve soil health and reduce the use of inputs, such as of fertilisers and irrigation water.
Read this case study to find out more about the trial results and the benefits two growers realised in a field and greenhouse system.
This project was part of the Horticulture Sustainable Ag Program – ‘Soils in Action’ project – run by AUSVEG SA, with oversight from Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management (NRM) Board (funder), and contributions from the Hort Innovation levy-funded Soil Wealth ICP project.
