Internationally respected author, educator, & farmer, Graeme Sait (CEO, Nutri-Tech Solutions www.nutri-tech.com.au), will conduct a workshop& field walk on 14th of Oct at the Jarvis family farm [ Prime Organics].

Participants will view and get familiarity on the use of many handheld soil and plant monitoring technologies including the bacteria to fungi ratio MicroBIOMETER® plus Plant Sap Calcium/ Potassium/ Nitrate/ Conductivity/ Meters and Brix refractometers.

Research shows that microbial biomass (fungi and bacteria) is the leading indicator of soil health. Living soil fixes nutrients, improves plant immunity, stores water more efficiently and builds soil structure. Therefore, a healthy level of soil and plant function increases productivity while reducing inputs.

This day is designed to introduce simple user-friendly technology to help you monitor plant and soil factors that aid your awareness and decision making needs.
