Katherine Dunsford is a research scientist with Agriculture Victoria based at Horsham. She completed her PhD in understanding the causes of poor grain yield responses to N and P Fertilisers in 2019. Her areas of research include crop nutrition, particularly N and P, as well as soil water interactions in cropping systems using APSIM and more recently amelioration of subsoil constraints using organic amendments.

VALUABLE research into Victoria’s drought resistance is being stalled, in part, by drought conditions.
