Aims:
This trial was designed to evaluate herbicide options for the knockdown control of ‘hard to kill’ weeds in grain sorghum.
Aims:
In 2018, a number of grower network meetings concluded that correct identification of summer weeds and their management was an important local issue. It was also identified that new species of summer weeds are becoming more prevalent and control is becoming problematic and costly. In response, the summer weed survey of WA cropping districts comm… read more
Aims:
To evaluate alternative second knock options for grass weeds.
Aims:
1. To investigate the effects of dry sowing on the nodulation and nitrogen fixation of chickpea in a low rainfall environment.
2. To investigate the residual effects on the growth of a subsequent wheat crop.

Aims:
Barley grass is becoming an increasingly problematic weed in Western Australia. A GRDC funded project sought to increase adoption of integrated weed management tactics for barley grass, by working with grower groups to develop regionally appropriate rotations for optimal control.
A survey indicated that in the central eastern wheatbelt… read more
Aims:
To better understand the efficacy and crop safety of broadleaf herbicide options for faba bean crops grown on sandy soils in Western Australia, focusing on new varieties; PBA Amberley and PBA Bendoc.
Aims:
To evaluate the impact of header adaptations on front of header chickpea grain losses.
Aims:
To evaluate the compatibility of Group A & Group G herbicides for summer grass control.
Aims:
Barley grass is becoming an increasingly problematic weed in Western Australia. A GRDC funded project sought to increase adoption of integrated weed management tactics for barley grass, by working with grower groups to develop regionally appropriate rotations for optimal control.
A survey indicated that in growers in the northern wheat… read more

Aims:
To evaluate copper nutrition responses in wheat to soil and foliar application.
Aims:
To compare three legume crops in farmer scale seeding strip trials at three locations in the Albany Port Zone. Demonstrations will compare several legume crops in different soil types in different micro-environments. The same trial sites will be monitored in 2019 to determine the effects (positive or negative) of the legume break crop on the sub… read more
Aims:
This field trial at Minnipa was undertaken to investigate factorial combinations of seed rate and herbicides on the management of annual ryegrass in wheat.
Aims:
To investigate factorial combinations of sowing time, cultivar, seed rate and herbicides on the management of annual ryegrass in triazine tolerant canola.
Aims:
To investigate factorial combinations of sowing time, seed rate and herbicides on the management of annual ryegrass in faba beans.
Aims:
This field trial at Roseworthy was undertaken to investigate factorial combinations of sowing time, seed rate and herbicides on the management of annual ryegrass in wheat.
Aims:
To investigate factorial combinations of sowing time, seed rate and herbicides on the management of brome grass in faba beans.
Aims:
This field trial was undertaken Frances in SA, a high rainfall environment, to investigate factorial combinations of sowing time, cultivar, seed rate and herbicides on the management of annual ryegrass in triazine tolerant canola.
Aims:
This field trial at Watchman was undertaken to investigate factorial combinations of sowing time, seed rate and herbicides on the management of brome grass in barley.
Aims:
This field trial at Washpool was undertaken to investigate factorial combinations of sowing time, seed rate and herbicides on the management of annual ryegrass in barley.
Aims:
To investigate the effects of variety selection, time of sowing, plant density and herbicide strategies on brome grass competition with canola.
Aims:
This field trial at Roseworthy was undertaken to investigate factorial combinations of sowing time, crop type and herbicides on the management of annual ryegrass.
Aims:
This field trial at Roseworthy was undertaken to investigate factorial combinations of wheat seed rate and pre-emergent herbicides on the management of annual ryegrass.
Aims:
To address the issue of adequate disease control that impacted the profitability of field pea crops grown
in medium rainfall zones.
Aims:
1. To identify the optimal agronomy for chickpeas, grown in medium to low rainfall zones of northern
Western Australia.
2. To address the issue of adequate weed control that impacted the profitability of chickpea crops grown
in medium rainfall zones in earlier trials in this project.
Aims:
To explore the agronomic options for weed control through the use of a variety of herbicides to address this constraint.
Aims:
To evaluate crop safety of herbicide mixtures in sorghum
Aims:
To investigate the fit of high value pulse crops (faba bean, lentil, and chickpea) in the sowing program and their rotational (agronomic and economic) benefits to the following cereal crop.
Aims:
To evaluate the impact of crop type and stubble amount on fallow water efficiency.
Aims:
To evaluate the impact of deep P application.
Aims:
1. Demonstrate that growing canola (with effective weed control options) followed by a high value legume
(with higher economic value) can lead to an effective and profitable double break crop sequence. The
contribution of an early sowing date versus a traditional sowing date to increase the profitability of
these crops will … read more
Aims:
To annually monitor long-term focus paddocks in the Geraldton port zone for effectiveness of integrated weed management strategies in controlling herbicde resistant weeds
