Aims:
To promote the eXtensionAUS Crop Nutrition online learning network
Aims:
To assess the impact of two alternative cotton irrigation strategies on soil mineral N: crop production and N2O emissions.
Aims:
This research aimed to identify the impact of irrigation opportunity time and fertiliser N rates on fertiliser N response, lint yield and fertiliser N recovery in a sub-surface drip irrigation system.
Aims:
To assess the influence of sowing date and species phenology on yield dynamics of barley, oats and wheat in frost conditions
Aims:
To determine the role of stubble management on frost severity and its effects on the grain yield of wheat
Aims:
These experiments were conducted to evaluate whether thrips controls applied at the thrips threshold led to higher or lower yields when compared with treatments at a lower threshold (one thrips per plant) and a non-spray treatment. The local cotton industry supported commercialscale experiments over small plot experiments.
Aims:
The experiments are part of a project to validate whether the Australian Cotton Industry thrips threshold applies in southern NSW cotton production areas.
Aims:
This soybean experiment was conducted at the NSW DPI Leeton Field Station to test the response of three commercial varieties and five unreleased lines to three sowing times.
Aims:
This research identified the plant traits most likely to determine differences in external critical phosphorus (P) requirements (i.e. the soil extractable-P concentration required to achieve 90% of maximum yield) of pasture legume species. Understanding trait differences that affect critical P requirements of pasture legumes is important in prov… read more
Aims:
To understand wheat phenology, in particular flowering response to sowing time.
Aims:
To explore the use of quality legume inoculants to get the most from nitrogen fixation.
Aims:
Four years of research have been conducted to determine if rice PIN uptake can be predicted using remote sensing from drones, aircraft and satellites as part of an ongoing Rural Industries Research & Development Corporation (RIRDC) research project.
Aims:
To evaluate the relative resistance of each variety to Pt under field conditions.
Aims:
To evaluate the relative resistance of each variety to Pratylenchus thornei under field conditions.
Aims:
Variety resistance has little effect on ascospore production by wheat pathogens Zymoseptoria tritici (STB) and Pyrenophra tritici-repentis (YLS)
Aims:
In 2019, field experiments were conducted across 10 sites in the northern grains region (NGR) to determine the influence of phenology on grain yield responses for a diverse set of wheat genotypes.
Aims:
The study determined whether genetic differences in tolerance can be idenified in field grown wheat exposed to natural heat events at the early reproductive stage of development.
Aims:
The aim of this experiment at Terry Hie Hie on the north-western plains of NSW was to determine if there were differences between varieties with varying maturity types in terms of grain yield and quality parameters with different plant densities and sowing dates.
Aims:
The aim of this experiment was to develop disease response curves indicating potential yield losses for a selection of varieties that represent various resistance categories for YLS.
Aims:
This experiment examined the effect of yellow leaf spot (YLS) on yield in three wheat varieties of differing resistance in southern NSW.
Aims:
To examine the impact of crown rot on yield and grain quality in a range of durum, bread wheat and barley varieties across two sowing times near Tulloona in north-western NSW in 2015.
Aims:
Sowing date is a key driver of yield and variety performance. The optimum sowing time for an individual variety is a balance between having the variety flower too early and being subjected to frost damage, and conversely having it flower too late and experience prolonged heat stress. Both of these factors can have significant negative impacts on… read more
