Biography
Dr Therese McBeath is a Principal Research Scientist and Team Leader in the CSIRO Agriculture and Food Systems Program based at Waite Campus, Adelaide. With a PhD (2006) and Bachelor of Agricultural Science (2000) from the University of Adelaide, she specializes in soil and crop management—particularly optimising fertiliser efficiency, soil fertility, and profit-risk analyses for cropping systems. Leading projects like “Increasing Production on Sandy Soils” and “Understanding Constraints to Crop Profit on Calcareous Soils,” Therese works extensively on industry-funded initiatives aimed at boosting grower productivity across Australia's diverse cropping regions. Her multi-disciplinary research spans bench‑scale soil chemistry through paddock‑scale field trials, with impactful outcomes in phosphorus management, deep‑tillage techniques, and sandy‑soil amelioration
