Building Soil Organic Carbon With The Decomposition Pathway
Learn how to build soil organic carbon with the decomposition pathway, and how to maxiumise this system.
Three Pathways For Building Soil Carbon
Building soil organic carbon (SOC) is a cornerstone of regenerative agriculture, directly impacting soil health, crop productivity, and climate resilience. But how do we effectively increase SOC? There are only three primary pathways for building soil carbon: Decomposition Humification Biochar Production This lesson will explore each pathway, their efficiency, and how they fit into a […]
John Kempf’s Plant Health Pyramid
John Kempf’s Plant Health Pyramid is a great aggregation of many years of understanding from a whole range of farmers, agronomist and researchers, and gives a great demonstration of the effect of different plant nutrients on plant health. In this article, I’ll be going over the idea of John Kempf’s Plant Health Pyramid in one […]
Regenerative Cotton Using Cover Crops
This year, I had the chance to attend the 2024 Cotton Conference and had the opportunity to meet a number of cotton growers using regenerative practices. These growers farmed across a range of contexts, soils and climates, and included irrigated and dryland cotton. The regenerative cotton practices were mainly utilising cover crops to improve soil […]
No-Till Vs Tillage
During my 2024 visit to America to work with Dale Strickler from Regenerative Wisdom , we stopped by a great example of the difference between no-till and tillage. These two paddocks are at the same location, receiving the same rainfall, planted the same time and contained the same soil parent material, expect there is a massive difference […]
Benefits Of Soil Organic Carbon
The benefits of Soil Organic Carbon allow for us to ultimately improve our soils to better grow plants. In this lesson of the Soil Organic Carbon Course we discuss all the benefits of soil organic carbon including the physical, chemical, biological and financial benefits. First watch the video and then read the supplementary material for more information. […]
What is Soil Organic Carbon?
Soil Organic Carbon is one of the most important biological components in the soil. In this lesson of the Soil Organic Carbon Course we discuss what soil organic carbon actually is and the components of it. First, watch the video below from our Youtube channel Agresol (and make sure to subscribe!) https://youtu.be/PGKxJDftzSo Key Lessons: Soil is made from the […]
