Fostering the adoption of variable rate fertiliser application for improved nutrient use efficiency
Tender ID: 576485
Tender Details
Tender Description
Growers have expressed a desire for training in the use of variable rate technology (VRT) in their farming enterprises. Adoption of the technology could be increased by implementing a peer-to-peer learning approach that pairs groups of growers who have not utilised VRT with consulting agronomists that are proficient in the use of the technology on farm. A coordinating organisation is sought to oversee the implementation of this approach. Growers will be guided through a VRT journey to give them the necessary confidence and skills to adopt the technology broadly in their farming enterprise. Detailed economic analysis of the VRT activity will be undertaken to assess the profitability of its implementation along with implications for on-farm carbon accounting.
