Case studies to review methods for defining within-paddock management zones - Kwinana West zone

This project aims to evaluate if there is any difference in deriving management zones from soil or production spatial information and in what situations each of these layers may be useful to help maximise grower investment in PA technologies.

Comparing mouldboard ploughing with other techniques to manage non wetting grey sandy soils west of Corrigin

The trial was designed to investigate a range of techniques that may improve crop establishment and performance on non wetting sandy soils. The techniques tested included mouldboard ploughing, winged knife points, and H2O Lure. The trial also compared the second year affect of mouldboard ploughing to first year response..

Comparing Tillage Practices to Address Non-wetting Soils in the Corrigin Area

The aim of this project is for the Corrigin Farm Improvement Group (CFIG) to identify the best method to increase soil and crop performance in non-wetting soils in the Corrigin area.

This project was funded through the Wheatbelt NRM Sustainable Agriculture Trials and Demonstrations Project during the 2016 season.

This demonstration compared how differing tillage practices, soil wetter applications and seeding depths affected the yield on non-wetting soils.

Growing More Profitable Crops on Chemical Fallow

In these trials Corrigin Farm Improvement Group aimed to test the benefits of growing crops on chemical fallowed soil. The trials specifically compared which crop species were most profitable under a chemical fallowing regime. In season 2013 barley was most profitable and in 2014 albus lupins were the most profitable crop grown on chemical fallow.

This project was designed to test the relative benefit of chemical fallow with a range of different crop types. The trials compared different crop types on chemical fallow with the aim to identify which crop is likely to produce the highest return. The trials was a joint effort with Pulse Australia with the aim also to demonstrate and test pulse species in the Corrigin district.

Mouldboard Trial Sheds New Light on Second Year Affect

A trial west of Corrigin has shed some new light on what can happen to crop production in the second year after mouldboard ploughing of non wetting grey sandy soils. Non wetting soils pose a significant challenge to growing crops in many parts of the wheatbelt and crops grown on these soils can suffer poor seedling establishment, poor weed control and depressed crop yield.

Precision Ag Systems – Impact on Zone Management, Soil health & Surface Water Management

The focus of this project is to better determine the NRM impacts of immerging precision agricultural systems in WA, with particular reference to surface water management and sol health issues.  The project will be implemented by one of the leading farming systems groups in Australia in the field of precision agriculture.

Profitable Crop Rotation Choices

The aim of this project is for the Corrigin Farm Improvement Group (CFIG) to compare the profitability of a range of crop rotations, including chemical fallowing, on a medium textured, loamy soil type east of Corrigin. Gross returns are assessed both on an annual basis and on an accumulative multi-year basis.

This project was designed to test the relative benefit of chemical fallow with a range of different crop types. The trial compared different crop types on chemical fallow with the aim to identify which crop is likely to produce the highest return. The project also aims to investigate the profitability of different rotations over multiple years which include both chemical fallows and continuous crop.

Putting SBAS into the hands of farmers

This project aimed to assess the accuracy and precision of SBAS and PPP technologies across different farming tasks on farming properties using a range of GNSS positioning systems. In addition, this project conducted an economic survey of mixed farming enterprises throughout WA to collect data on the impact, benefits, and potential uptake of SBAS technology in small-medium mixed farming enterprises.

Seeding Systems to improve cereal crop establishment on heavy textured soils

 

This project will demonstrate to growers the most profitable tyned seeding system for improved cereal crop establishment on medium to heavy textured soils in the eastern wheatbelt. This will be achieved by establishing a trial site to assess a range of furrow closing options (4) and down force pressures (2) over two years to account for varying seasonal conditions. The results will be compared to standard practice of growers within the region.

The Journey is great, but does PA Pay?

To better match fertilizer inputs to productivity zones to increase whole paddock profitability.

 

To document and evaluate a practical procedure utilizing tools and services that are readily available for zoning paddocks and matching fertilizer inputs to productivity zones.

Using Precision Agriculture and Soil Inoculants to Improve Crop performance and Grower Returns

• To use farmer scale machinery to evaluate the benefits of adopting zone
management farming on a range of soil types over a three year period;
• To increase the output to input ratio for our farming system; and
• To collaborate with, and add value to research in precision agriculture being
undertaken by CSIRO, the Department.of Agriculture and University of Western
Australia (UWA).

Using Precision Agriculture to Improve Crop Performance and Grower Returns

To investigating if applying fertiliser according to productivity zones is more profitable than blanket applications of fertiliser across the whole paddock. We aimed to design trials to demonstrate to growers that matching fertiliser inputs to productivity zones will increase whole paddock profitability compared to blanket applications of fertiliser. We also aimed to use off the shelf tools (Silverfox/Sky Plan, Nulogic etc) that growers could access to enable them to follow our procedures to adopt VRT across the whole farm.
