Aims:
To demonstrate, compare and analyse the efficacy of new herbicide combinations and sequences to achieve control of hard to kill weeds such as ryegrass and radish, whilst maximising yield in hybrid canola, using the hybrid variety Hyola 525RT (Roundup Ready + Triazine Tolerant) canola herbicide tolerant system.
Aims:
The study has been designed to examine the use of mixed legume swards which incorporate a mix of hardseeded legumes or hardseeded legumes sown with traditional legumes. Our aim over the lifetime of the study is to quantify the effect of mixed legume swards on livestock productivity and health as well as the balance between sown species and weeds… read more
Aims:

Aims:
To investigate the control of brome and barley grass in Meering wheat and Balleon barley.
Aims:
To report on sowing times on heads of spring-sown canola and wheat.

To report on sowing times on heads of spring-sown canola and wheat.
Aims:
The GRDC Low Rainfall Crop Sequencing project is identifying the effects that different break crops and rotations have on Mallee farming systems. Farmers have increasingly adopted continuous cereal cropping strategies as non-cereal crops are perceived as riskier than cereals due to greater yield and price fluctuations. However, break phases can … read more

To present research information available on role of foliar fungicide mixtures with new chemistry against barley LR in a variety with known APR.
Aims:
To compare the competitive ability of new and existing barley varieties in the presence and absence of weeds.
Aims:
To use a combination of alternative weed control methods to minimise the reliance on chemicals.
Aims:
To determine if sowing direction and row spacing can be used to influence grass weed populations and growth, and their impact on crop performance in the Mallee.
Aims:
To determine if sowing direction and row spacing can be used to influence grass weed populations and growth,
and their impact on crop performance in the Mallee.
Aims:
To determine the effect of stubble management (standing, slashed or burnt) on the crop safety of pre-sowing herbicides, and their efficacy against Group A-resistant annual ryegrass.
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 investigate options for broadleaf weed and grass control in oats.
Aims:
To demonstrate the effectiveness of weed sensing technology (WeedSeeker) for controlling problematic low population weeds (e.g. Prickly Lettuce).
Aims:
To inform readers about weed sensing: the use of a machine or instrument to detect a weed; a plant that shouldn’t be there
Aims:
To satisfy the questions of local farmers.
Aims:
Aims:
To systematically assess the impact of sowing time, seeding rate and wetting agents on wheat establishment and productivity across a range of environments on water repellent soil and determine whether there are interactions between the agronomic options tested.
Aims:
To provide growers with the tools needed to adopt site-specific weed management (SSWM) strategies as a result of a commercially viable weed ID and mapping system being demonstrated.
Aims:
Evaluate yield and quality response of long season wheat and barley to sowing time.
