Aims:
To evaluate the early biomass production, hay and grain yield of oat varieties, as well as their response to a herbicide strategy, in the southern Mallee and Wimmera.
Aims:
To determine how post-grazing nitrogen application rates and post flowering rainfall affect the recovery of Mace and Trojan grain wheat crops after grazing.
Aims:
The integration of cropping and grazing remains a major management challenge in the Mallee. Technology such as portable fencing systems and virtual fencing potentially offer a solution to improve grazing management in large Mallee paddocks with high soil variability. However, to effectively design and deploy these innovative grazing techniques, … read more

Aims:
To monitor the feed value and grain production from different types of grazed cereal crops in Northern Victoria.
Aims:
To validate the effect of grazing intensity and growth stage on forage value and yield response of different wheat varieties, with sowing times suited to cultivar.

To evaluate emerging and newly released medic, vetch and forage peas varieties for their ability to produce dry matter and nutritive value for stock in the Mallee and Wimmera environments.
Aims:
To assess and evaluated a range of different pasture varieties at three different sites.
Aims:
To assess and evaluated a range of different pasture varieties at three different sites.
Aims:

Aims:
To compare the early grazing and yield potential of winter wheat varieties sown very early in response to summer rain.
Aims:
To discuss strategies and tactics to extend whole-farm water-use efficiency - sow on-time or early!
Aims:
To evaluate the feed response of barley and oats to two different N rates applied at sowing and post-sowing, and the economic returns from sheep production.
Aims:
To evaluate a vigorous hybrid canola variety in a low rainfall Mallee environment for its grazing value at different growth stages, and its ability to recover from grazing.
Aims:
To evaluate commercially available forage cereal varieties, comparing their feed value and suitability for grazing or grain production in low rainfall Mallee and Wimmera environments.
Aims:
To evaluate different commercially available forage crop varieties for their feed value and capacity to recover during winter and spring in a low rainfall Mallee-Wimmera environment.
Aims:
Aims:
To demonstrate the feed value of a forage brassica as spring/early summer grazing option and to measure lamb growth rate performance.
Aims:
To determine the effect of grazing on grain yield of Naparoo wheat
Aims:
To compare the production of different winter pastures and their recovery from grazing.
Aims:
Aims:
To comare the dry matter production available for forage and plant recovery after grazing of the forage barley variety Moby with that of Hindmarsh barley and Correll wheat.
Aims:
To evaluate the suitability of different wheat and barley cultivars for both grazing and grain production, when sown as part of a the normal cropping program in low rainfall zones of western Victoria.
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 the effects of fluid fertilisers and seed nutrient treatments on early plant vigour and grain yield for wheat grown from locally sourced or certified seed.
Aims:
To evaluate the effect of the application of different trace elements and different stubble management on the incidence of yellow leaf spot in a wheat on wheat crop.
Aims:
To determine which combinations of nitrogen and zinc together with a single rate of phosphorus applied either as granular or fluid performed best on a range of soil types.
Aims:
