Dowling To Lead New Cotton Training For Agronomists

A familiar and respected face in agronomy and soil health, Dr Chris Dowling, Back Paddock Company founder and director is set to lead a new offering of local and relevant cotton training for agronomists.

Back Paddock Company has expanded its industry-recognised Better Soil Management (BSM) suite to include BSM Pro Cotton Nutrition for experienced agronomists while BSM Fundamentals is for early-career agronomists.

Four BSM Action interactive cotton nutrition workshops will be run at:

• Dalby, Queensland on May 28 and July 9;
• Narrabri, NSW on June12 ; and
• Griffith, NSW on July 17.

“These sessions are designed to be locally relevant for each region and we will work through local case studies using tactical tools and strategic approaches to optimal crop nutrition decisions,” Dr Dowling said.

“We aim to equip agronomists with the latest knowledge, tips and tricks so they can be confident they are formulating top quality recommendations for their clients.”

In addition to the face-to-face workshops, Back Paddock has launched a unique online knowledge resource for cotton agronomists.

It includes essential agronomic data on nutrients, soil constraints and biology, tactical tools, strategies for enhancing productivity, and maximising nitrogen efficiency while considering environmental priorities.

“We expect this one-of-a-kind online resource to quickly become indispensable for agronomists seeking quality in-paddock information at their fingertips,” Dr Dowling said.
