Aims:
To evaluate alternative second knock options for grass weeds.
Aims:
To evaluate second knock options for broadleaf weed control in fallow.
Aims:
To evaluate second knock options for broadleaf weed control in fallow.
Aims:
Failure to control annual weed species that persist through cropping phases facilitates replenishment/establishment of weed seedbanks. Consequently, this maintains weed interference in subsequent years of crop production. Harvest weed seed control (HWSC) has been widely adopted in Australia since its inception over three decades ago to prevent r… read more
Aims:
The aim of this project is to investigate the use of biosolids to overcome subsoil constraints in the high and low rainfall zones in Victorian grain growing regions: in brief,
Aims:
To evaluate double knock timing and options for button grass control
Aims:
Part 1: Medic cultivars were grown in soil with high boron levels in a glasshouse, leaf damage symptoms recorded and cultivars allocated to different tolerance groups (Howie 2012).
Part 2: The above identified that all spineless burr medic cultivars are susceptible to high boron levels. Screening wild accessions (supplied by… read more
Aims:
In southern Australian mixed farming systems, there are many opportunities for pasture improvement. The Dryland Legume Pasture Systems (DLPS) project aims to boost profit and reduce risk in medium and low rainfall areas by developing pasture legumes that benefit animal and crop production systems. A component of the DLPS project aims t… read more
Aims:
Legume pastures have been pivotal to sustainable agricultural development in southern Australia. They provide highly nutritious feed for livestock, act as a disease break for many cereal root pathogens, and improve fertility through nitrogen (N) fixation. Despite these benefits pasture renovation rates remain low and there is opportunity to impr… read more
Aims:
There are reports of low grain protein levels in wheat following medic pastures and many observations of poor medic nodulation. Previous work has shown that rhizobial inoculation can improve the nodulation of medics in the SA and Victorian Mallee, and that more generally about 50% of the populations of medic rhizobia in soils are subop… read more

Legume pastures have been pivotal to sustainable agricultural development in southern Australia. They provide highly nutritious feed for livestock, act as a disease break for many cereal root pathogens, improve fertility through nitrogen (N) fixation and mixed farming reduces economic risk. Despite these benefits, pasture renovation ra… read more
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 wheat.
Aims:
The aim of this experiment was to determine the effect of sowing time, barley density and herbicides on brome grass control.
Aims:
Investigate the impact of sowing time, seed rate and herbicide treatments on the management of annual ryegrass in barley in a low rainfall environment.
Aims:
This field trial at Frances was undertaken to investigate factorial combinations of sowing time, seed rate and herbicides on the management of annual ryegrass in barley.
Aims:
To evaluate the impact of drift reduction strategies on grass control in fallow.
Aims:
To identify herbicide sensitivities of new or potential new chickpea varieties with the view to reduce their yield losses due to herbicide damage.

To identify herbicide sensitivities of new or potential new chickpea varieties with the view to reduce their yield losses due to herbicide damage.
Aims:
To identify herbicide sensitivities of new lentil varieties with the view to reduce their yield losses due to herbicide damage.
Aims:
To identify herbicide sensitivities of new lentil varieties with the view to reduce their yield losses due to herbicide damage.
Aims:
To identify herbicide sensitivities of new lupin varieties with the view to reduce their yield losses due to herbicide damage. Mandelup was included as a standard variety for comparison in the trial.
Blue lupins are problematic in narrow leave lupin production, especially in the Northern Agriculture Region of WA Wheatbelt and no herbic… read more
