Tek Ag trials

Terminology Online Farm Trials: a web-based information system that provides open and free access to agricultural-based research trial data and information. OFT is a digital online resource managed through a collaboration between the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and the Centre for eResearch and Digital Innovation (CeRDI) at Federation University Australia (FedUni). Trial Contributor: an individual or organisation (e.g. grower group, research centre, commercial entity or government department) that makes data and/or other information available through OFT. Metadata: information about Trial Projects submitted to OFT (e.g. names of the Trial Contributors, Trial Project title, Trial site location, Crop type(s), Growing season year(s), Trial type and Trial design). This data is compiled by OFT from information submitted with Trial Projects. Trial project data and information: any attachment (documents and other files, e.g. PDFs, photos, videos, maps, reports and data files) submitted to OFT by Trial Contributors. User/you: the user of OFT. Disclaimer The content on OFT is provided for information purposes only.

Plant Breeders’ Rights (PBR) Some crop varieties used in research trials may be covered by Plant Breeders' Rights (PBR). Users should confirm PBR status of relevant varieties by searching the IP Australia PBR database, http://pericles.ipaustralia.gov.au/pbr_db/ or Variety Central (http://varietycentral.com.au/) and contacting variety owners for further information if required. Where possible, varieties have been listed according to their registered PBR name, although OFT cannot and does not guarantee that the information is accurate or complete. Note that PBR cover is administered through the Plant Breeders’ Right Act 1994 (https://www.legislation.gov.au/Series/C2004A04783). Registered products, trade names and intellectual property protection Products such as chemicals and fertilisers used in field trials may have registered trade names patents and other intellectual property (IP) protection. Brand names may also be protected. The IP Australia trademarks register can be used to check the status of each product or brand (https://search.ipaustralia.gov.au/trademarks/search/quick) and product owners should be contacted for further information if required.
