Aims:
To investigate the interaction between early sowing and row spacing and variety in first wheat crops under full stubble retention.
Aims:
There are major opportunities to improve crop performance on Mallee sands, opportunities to invest in the transformation of poor sands and opportunities to improve yield through more targeted agronomy of sandy soils. In 2015 wheat plant establishment was significantly better on non-wetting sand (crest and dune) plots that received no fertiliser … read more
Aims:
This experiment reports the effect of three sowing dates on the timing of anthesis, grain yield and grain quality parameters for a range of commercially available and advanced bread wheat and durum varieties.
The combination of phenology and sowing date (SD) determines the probable timing of environmental stresses (frost and heat stres… read more
Aims:
To compare grain yield and grain quality of a mid-late maturing variety (Trojan) and two early-mid season maturing varieties (Mace and Scepter).
Aims:
To improve soil carbon through the incorporation of cereal stubbles with no impact on the subsequent canola crop.
Aims:
To evaluate the performance of several different pre-emergent herbicides and their mixtures on brome infestation in barley.
Aims:
To improve the understanding of optimum sowing time by variety to help maximise yields in different environments.
Aims:
KEY FINDINGS:
Aims:
To study the effect of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) application separately and in combination on the growth and yield of faba bean.
This experiment aimed to study the effect of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) application separately and in combination on the growth and yield of faba bean. A small amount of N at sowing might improve y… read more
Aims:
To compare fungicides for their effectiveness to control diseases as well as improve yield and seed size in faba bean.
Aims:
To test the differences between faba bean varieties.
Aims:
To test the benefits of fluid delivery systems in relation to the effects of trace elements, macro nutrients and fungicides on control of cereal root and leaf diseases and grain yield.
Aims:
To build on previous research by updating knowledge of the benefits, including disease control and nutrition, of fluid delivery systems.
Aims:
To update the benefits of fluid delivery systems from previous research and assess the potential of fluid nutrient delivery systems and disease control strategies compared to current systems.
Aims:
To test the effect of foliar fungicides on irrigated wheat yield
Aims:
To test if the use of fungicides makes economic sense on irrigated barley
Aims:
To investigate the efficacy of seed dressing and fertiliser applied fungicides on the time of onset, rate of development and yield impact of wheat powdery mildew.
Aims:
To determine the various causes and to address concerns around fusarium head blight (FHB) infections.
Aims:
To measure effect of gibberellic acid application and grazing timings on the biomass production and feed quality of oats.
Aims:
A long-term study was established at the Minnipa Agricultural Centre from 2008 to 2016 (EPFS Summaries 2008 to 2015) to assess the systems impact of grazing on crop and pasture production, and soil health.
Aims:
The GRDC project ‘Maintaining profitable farming systems with retained stubble - upper Eyre Peninsula’ aims to produce sustainable management guidelines to control pests, weeds and diseases while retaining stubble to maintain or improve soil health, and reduce exposure to wind erosion. The major outcome to be achieved is increased knowledge … read more
Aims:
The GRDC ‘Maintaining profitable farming systems with retained stubble’ projects on upper and lower Eyre Peninsula (EP) aim to improve farm profitability while retaining stubble in farming systems. Grass weed management is one of the key issues of current cropping systems with annual ryegrass and barley grass being of most importance on lowe… read more
Aims:
To investigate the drivers for yield loss under grazing with a view to make grazing crops less risky.
Aims:
To evaluate Group A compatibility when tank mixed with broadleaf herbicides. Specifically awnless barnyard grass.
Aims:
To evaluate Group A compatibility with broadleaf herbicides, specifically liverseed grass.
Aims:
To evaluate the safety of late applications of Group A herbicides in chickpeas.
Aims:
To evaluate the safety of late applications of Group A herbicides in chickpeas.
Aims:
To evaluate the safety of late applications of Group A herbicides in chickpeas.
Aims:
To evaluate the safety of late applications of Group A herbicides in chickpeas.
