Harriet Mella Webinar!
20th October 2023
By Amy Burgess
The South Australian Plant Sap Analysis group has attracted the expertise of Harriet Mella to an Australia-wide tour.
Harriet will complete a 4-part webinar series prior to her visit and you are invited to attend.
Her broad knowledge in the science of plants, will be explained plain English for you to learn how to read what plants are telling us, and offer suggestions to improve plant health in a series of online webinars over the coming weeks and through in-field events in December.
5:30pm – 8:45pm SA time
Wednesday October 25 2023
Wednesday November 01 2023
Wednesday November 08 2023
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
This series is suitable for those with an interest in how plants access moisture; the importance of capturing dew; the impact of and interaction between different soil characteristics such as the balance of minerals, balance of nutrients, and soil biology; and ways to build soil biology.
Harriet will elaborate on a variety of topics affecting plant health and resilience to pests and diseases including:
the impact of soil compaction and excessive nitrogen,
strategies to better manage cold conditions and heat stress,
the role of Calcium, Sulphur, Selenium, Boron, Silicon, Iron and Magnesium,
plant adaptions,
the flow of water and nutrients in plants,
the benefit from applying nutrients in a form that is more available to plants, and
plant traits which help with identifying more resilient plants.

WHO IS HARRIET?
Harriet Mella is an independent researcher from Austria with a background in microbiology, mycology, and biochemistry.
She is an excellent communicator and has unique expertise with managing nutrition, mineral balance, and carbon cycling in soils.
Harriet utilises profiling of soil and plant characteristics, pests, diseases, and water use to optimise plant growth for ongoing sustainability.
We are fortunate to have her coming because of the intuition of the Australian farmers who understand the complexities of farming in Australia due to our soil types and weather conditions over a large area of land mass.
Her unique understanding of how microbes and the soil work, will help us further enhance the efforts our farmers have gone to in utilising microbes, minerals and soil types to provide more efficiency in our soil matter, to give our plants, crops and animals more resilience in tough times.
