Aims:
Barley grass is becoming an increasingly problematic weed in Western Australia. A GRDC funded project sought to increase the 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 wheat… read more
Aims:
Barley grass is one of the major weeds in the southern region. Many southern growers think their barley grass is resistant to grass selective herbicides and may have developed late germination to avoid pre-seeding herbicides. In this area, barley grass is a major problem in pastures, and often in break crops as well.
The trial aims to … read more
Aims:
To compare efficacy of new and old herbicides and herbicide mixtures for broadleaf weed control in chickpea.
Aims:
To compare two chickpea varieties for their competitiveness against broadleaf weeds and evaluate efficacy of new and old herbicides and herbicide mixtures for broadleaf weed control in chickpea.
Aims:
To compare efficacy of new and old herbicides and herbicide mixtures for broadleaf weed control in chickpea.
Aims:
This trial was designed to evaluate herbicide options for the knockdown control of ‘hard to kill’ weeds in grain sorghum.
Aims:
This was the second year in a three-year project that is focusing on building resilient farm businesses and strengthening farm decision making.
Aims:
to explore how biological approaches to restoring soil health and holistic grazing practices lead to improved soil health, increased soil carbon, increased soil water holding capacity, improved plant health, improved production, increased on farm diversity and a reduced need for synthetic inputs.
Aims:
To determine whether other macronutrients (P, K, S) become limiting as canola growers target high yields with high nitrogen rates in the high rainfall zone of WA.
Aims:
We aim to determine if faba beans in the high rainfall zone respond to high rates of phosphorus, in-crop nitrogen and/or a complete/intensive nutritional and disease management package.

Aims:
Demonstrate the effectiveness of different fungicide timing options on chocolate spot management and evaluate a new spray decision support tool.
Aims:
We aim to compare the current recommended WA fungicide spray strategy with the more regular fungicide applications common in other states, and with a spray timing based on canopy humidity and temperature to determine if this could be a useful decision support tool by West Australian growers.
Aims:
We aim to demonstrate the effectiveness of using clean seed and seed applied fungicide to minimise the amount of Ascochyta in a chickpea crop, and to demonstrate the effectiveness of early season foliar fungicides to keep disease levels at bay.

Aims:
We plan to demonstrate a range both peat and granular inoculant options for chickpeas, placement of these products with seed vs. with fertiliser, and the interactions of these products with seed applied fungicide.

Aims:
To examine crop safety and broadleaf weed control implications for various herbicides and combinations in lentils.
Aims:
Demonstrate the effectiveness of different fungicide timing options on chocolate spot management and evaluate a new spray decision support tool.
This trial was a collaboration of the Crop Protection and Grain Science groups within DPIRD.
Aims:
This field trial was undertaken at Roseworthy in SA, a medium rainfall environment, to investigate factorial combinations of sowing time, cultivar (hybrid Vs open-pollinated), seed rate and herbicides on the management of annual ryegrass in triazine tolerant canola.
Aims:
This field trial was undertaken at Westmere in Victoria, a high rainfall environment, to investigate factorial combinations of sowing time, seed rate and herbicides on the management of annual ryegrass in barley.
