SUMMARY:Mapping the future: Updating Queensland's phosphorus landscape
DESCRIPTION:Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for cattle required for skeletal growth\, muscle development\, metabolism\, and milk production. A deficiency increases the mortality rate in cows\, reduces growth rates\, and reduces calf weaning weights. Knowing if your country is deficient or not\, and whether you need to supplement is vital in managing northern Queensland properties. \nA map of available phosphorus (bicarbonate extractable) across the state of Queensland has recently been updated to include the Cape York\, Northern Gulf and Southern Gulf catchments\, and to be more spatially accurate. \nIn this BeefConnect webinar\, join Jim Fletcher (Senior Beef Extension Officer\, DPI)\, Stephen Leo (Senior Scientist\, DETSI) and Grant Stone (Principal Scientist\, DETSI) as they discuss: \n\nSelecting sites and soil sampling\nSpatial modelling and map production process\nImprovements made on the new map\nOverview of the variability in phosphorous across land types in the sampled catchments\nHow to get a FORAGE Indicative Soil Phosphorous report for your property.\n\n \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
