20-Year Silence Broken: TM Agricultural from BEST Farming System Brings Back Earthworms, Rejuvenates Soil, and Boosts Barley Yields

Report Summary

A site visit to ‘Munna,’ owned by Tom and Anna Dunlop near Coolah, revealed the positive impacts of BEST TM Agricultural application. After 20 years without earthworms due to the incorporation of a synthetic fertiliser program in their agriculture practice, TM’s application at 250 ml/ha resulted in a significant return of earthworms. TM Ag application began four weeks prior to sowing Spitfire wheat and Granger barley (supplemented with 50 kg/ha of DAP) and included a second in-crop application alongside selective weed sprays. These changes coincided with the growth of wheat and barley crops exhibiting massive fibrous root systems, indicating improved soil health and nutrient uptake. The soil’s improved aggregation and the crops’ progress toward Tom’s target yield of 5 tonnes per hectare further support the positive influence of TM Ag on soil biology and crop performance.
