Research
FLRC works closely with industry, government bodies and individuals and is able to conduct novel research, undertake product evaluations, analyse soil, plant and water samples and investigate specific issues identified in the primary production sectors.
Gaining a greater understanding of nutrient cycling in the soil-plant-animal system enables the Centre to recommend strategies that reduce the loss of nutrients to the environment and improve the efficiency of fertiliser and lime use.
FLRC actively promotes research in the following areas:
- Improved understanding of soil-plant-animal interactions
- Sustainable nutrient management in production systems
- Development and evaluation of fertiliser materials and additives
- Remediation of disturbed or contaminated sites
- The use of agricultural and industrial wastes as fertilisers and soil amendments
- Smart farming - using precision tools and technologies
- Biofortification - improving the nutritional value of animal feeds
- Mitigation strategies for global climate change
