Aims:
To develop improved AB disease control management strategies through the use of fungicides.
Aims:
To develop improved AB disease control management strategies through the use of fungicides. The 2016 trials were aimed to assess new experimental fingicides alongside the current strategy and also include variations in fungicide application timings to improve disease control efficacy.
Aims:
The aim of this project (SAGIT S914) was to:
Aims:
To test the efficacy of a range of experimental (unregistered) foliar fungicides against the above strategy in controlling blackspot in field pea in three major production areas of South Australia.

Aims:
There has been increasing interest from growers and agronomists in low rainfall farming regions to evaluate alternative break crop options to field peas. Field peas are generally well suited to low rainfall farming systems and have historically been the main pulse option for the upper Eyre Peninsula region. However, record high prices and new va… read more
Aims:
To undertake initial evaluation of an elite cumin line at a range of locations on the upper Eyre Peninsula: Blue Ribbon would also undertake assessment of cumin quality (oil quality) attributes within their international markets.
Aims:
To evaluate the effect of two triazine tolerant varieties, sown at three different seeding rates and three different depths has on emergence and yield at Minnipa Agricultural Centre and at Piednippie.
Aims:
To maximise canola productivity through creating soil specific management strategies that improve canola yields, profitability and establishment in field trials on Eyre Peninsula.
In 2015, seven separate trials were conducted as part of this project at Minnipa Agriculture Centre and Piednippie on upper Eyre Peninsula. Three trials will… read more
Aims:
To push the nitrogen inputs at Minnipa Agricultural Centre to achieve a target yield of 2 t/ha.
Aims:
To address the issues of canola being a high risk crop in low rainfall areas two experiments were established in 2015, at Minnipa (upper Eyre Peninsula) and Ouyen (Victorian Mallee). Only Minnipa results are reported here.
This trial is part of the GRDC funded Optimising Canola Profitability Project currently underway across New South … read more
Aims:
To include a primary trial of breeding material funded by GRDC, at Minnipa, to investigate advanced common vetch lines with specific traits best suited to this region, and enable comparison with other sites in the southern cropping region.
SAGIT trials looking at vetch for a genuine legume break crop option for cereal and mixed farmers… read more
Aims:
To test if there were residual effects on grain production from the treatments applied in 2013.
Aims:
Tto maximise canola productivity through creating soil specific management strategies that improve canola yields, profitability and establishment in field trials on lower and upper Eyre Peninsula (EP). In 2014, ten separate trials were conducted as part of this project at Minnipa Agricultural Centre, and Piednippie on upper EP. Four trials will … read more

Aims:
To test if there were potential yield responses and possible money to be gained by increasing fertiliser rates, testing new products and other seeding techniques like fluid fertilisers.

Aims:
Aims:
To compare current released varieties at two locations on Eyre Peninsula.
Aims:
Aims:
To compare current released varieties at two locations on Eyre Peninsula, plus a demonstration at Penong.
Aims:
To evaluate field pea breeding lines ranging in their glass house tolerance to boron and salinity, for their ability to perform under high field soil boron levels. The same lines were also evaluated in the same paddock at Minnipa but on a contrasting site where lower boron levels were identified.
Aims:
To compare current varieties to ones which are not commonly grown in the district, and to compare varieties in soil types and rainfall regions where National Wheat Variety trials are not conducted.
Aims:
To develop cultivars and agronomic methods that will increase and stabilise production in environments characterized by variable soil types and low rainfall, of which Minnipa is a key site of the program.
Aims:
To conduct a break crop trial at Mt Cooper.
Aims:
To investigate selection of canola lines for low rainfall environments in south eastern Australia
