Craig Scanlan

Craig Scanlan is an Adjunct Research Fellow at the School of Agriculture and Environment, University of Western Australia. His research focuses on agronomy, soil science, and nutrient management, particularly in dryland cropping systems across Australia. He contributes to global sustainability goals related to food security and environmental protection.

• Key Research Areas:
  • Agronomy
  • Soil Science
  • Crop Production
  • Nutrient Management
  • Sustainable Agriculture

Recent publications highlight trends in nitrogen and potassium cycling in agricultural soils, wheat root proliferation in acidic subsoils, and fertilizer loss mitigation. He is currently involved in active grants from the Grains Research & Development Corporation (GRDC) and collaborates with researchers across soil and crop science disciplines.

• Grants:
  • Predicting nitrogen cycling and losses in Australian cropping systems - Augmenting measurements to enhance modelling (2022-2026)
  • Increasing profit from N, P and K fertiliser inputs into the evolving cropping sequences in the Western Region (2017-2022)

His work is associated with the UWA School of Agriculture and Environment, emphasizing practical solutions for growers and sustainable soil management practices in Western Australia.
