Dig Up Dirt is led by Dr Adam Frew and is a national project that aims to survey the diversity of beneficial soil fungi across Australian cropping ecosystems. The fungi give plants access to important resources like phosphorus and water. They can also help plants defend themselves against things like diseases and herbivorous insects. The project will launch soon! Capturing as many samples as we can from around Australia is important, so please tell your friends and colleagues.
