This project has two components focusing on improved soil carbon measurement and validating where soil carbon has increased. Part 1 includes the further understanding of soil carbon measurements, its accuracy and guidelines for assessment including the use of carbon fractions. Part 2 is focused on validation of where soil carbon has potentially increased by assessing various long term trials and monitoring sites, some of which are more than 40 years old.

The goal of this project is to develop next-generation rhizobial inoculation systems for lentils by integrating advanced seed-coating technologies with climate-adapted plant growth-promoting bacteria. The project aims to deliver pre-inoculated, ready-to-sow lentil...
This project will evaluate the performance, stability, and nitrogen-use efficiency benefits of the previously selected high-performing plant growth-promoting bacterial strains across cropping environments relevant to SA growers. It will translate the results towards...
Herbicide residues such as those of imidazolinones (IMI) products are of increasing concern to growers. However, predictive tests to assess the potential toxicity of herbicide residues to crops are not currently available. This project will establish and validate a...
