Aims:
The aim of the ‘Yardstick’ project is conduct agronomy demonstrations that will enable growers to reduce crop selection risk through better understanding of crop performance with different crop types/varieties, timings of sowing and nutrition.
Aims:
To determine what impact delaying the timing of N applications after growth stage 32 will have on wheat yield and protein, and whether there is an advantage of using solid or liquid fertiliser.
Aims:
To report on DNRE wheat variety trials.
Aims:
To determine the value of pasture legumes grown in rotation with crops at Streatham, Gnarwarre and Hamilton
Aims:
To report on the DNRE long season barley variety trials.
Aims:
To report on DNRE TT canola variety trials.
Aims:
To evaluate the raised bed technology for reducing crop losses caused by waterlogging.
Aims:
To determine whether raised beds would assist in waterlogging control and give higher crop returns.
Aims:
To identifying high yielding varieties that meet specific grain quality requirements and are suitable for the region's long cool season conditions. Information from the experiments is used to select material for commercial release.

Aims:
To develop agronomic packages and seeding technology solutions which can allow for increased stubble retention practices, thereby reducing the dependence on burning.
Aims:
Aims:
A series of trials were set up in 2013 at our Inverleigh and Westmere sites to evaluate a range of commercially available varieties of barley that are either grown for malt, grown for feed or varieties that have the potential to be grown for yield but could still be accepted as malt at receivals.
Aims:
All four trials were aiming to evaluate what alternative stubble retention practices can be implemented into the cropping system, without
incurring yield penalty or significant cost to the grower.
Aims:
To examine the influence of two nitrogen timings: 40kg N/ha applied at tillering (GS22) or first node (GS31) and four fungicide strategies on levels of yellow leaf spot (YLS).
Aims:
To evaluate the performance of different in-crop nitrogen treatments and plant populations at a range or row spacings in first wheat following canola.
