• Validate the benefits and potential of common vetch in the targeted areas.
• Provide farmers with high yielding alternative vetch varieties that are well adapted to sandy-alkaline soils in low rainfall environments.

• To investigate the role of a range of nutrients applied both on the surface and at depth, on crops grown on sandy soils.

In 2016 SARDI funded a barley nitrogen trial at Conmurra to value add to the MFMG field day. The trial evaluated a malting barley
(Bass) and a feed barley (Compass) and three different nitrogen regimes.

In 2016 SARDI funded a wheat nitrogen trial at Conmurra to value add to the MFMG field day. The trial evaluated nine different
nitrogen rates and application timings.

To evaluate different nitrogen (N) rates and application timings and phosphorous (P) rates.

The trials evaluated responses in wheat and barley to increasing N rates.

The trials evaluated wheat and barley varieties at increasing P rates.

To report on yield variability maps and yield estimates at farm, field and site level. Agrecon is currently extending the application of satellite imagery to broadacre crop production.

• To demonstrate how Pastures from Space technologies can be used to increase grazier’s skills in sustainably increasing stocking rates.

To determine the effect that nitrogen applied to a barley crop that ‘hayed off’ has on wheat sown in the subsequent season.

• To investigate whether barley varieties vary in their tolerance to scald.
• To compare different management strategies for controlling scald in different barley varieties.

1. To ascertain the presence of any pH threshold below which the tolerance of the species declined

2. To study the response of several faba bean cvv to a range of pH to determine whether there were any genetic differences in tolerance to low pH.
 

This paper presents results from a genotype screening experiment conducted in 2019 at Grogan in southern NSW for identifying wheat
genotypes and traits linked to sodicity tolerance under field conditions with subsoil sodicity.

CWFS are conducting trials at its regional sites that - investigate the impact of different stubble treatments imposed towards the end of the fallow have on nitrogen response (applied as urea) in wheat yield and quality - evaluate the widely used advisor/farmer benchmark of 20 kg actual N required per tonne of expected yield.
