Aims:
To compare the effectiveness of potassium banded in K Till and Flexi NK at seeding to potassium top dressed as Muriate of Potash before seeding.
Aims:
To determine whether raised beds would assist in waterlogging control and give higher crop returns.
Aims:
To examine varieties of industrial hemp
Aims:
To examine barley varieties in the South East
Aims:
The trials were designed to showcase a range of pulse varieties and initiate discussions within the MFMG about pulses.
Aims:
To assess grain quality, yield and suitability to the South West of Victoria.
Aims:
To investigate the effects of delaying nitrogen application until GS31 on grain yield and quality by using differing nitrogen application rates across a range of popular malt and feed barleys.
Aims:
To determine whether sowing date can influence the yield and quality of malt and feed barley varieties.
Aims:
Understanding thrips species composition during cotton establishment in the southern cotton production region is important in accessing the validity of the cotton industry thrips spray thresholds and recommendations
Aims:
This study serves to identify the crown rot risk to the industry and link with research on rotation impacts and grower practice at a whole-paddock scale.
Aims:
A total of 87 paddocks were surveyed as a part of a longitudinal study of soil- and stubbleborne diseases in southern NSW (sNSW) farming systems. Particular emphasis has been placed on the soil-borne disease, crown rot.
Aims:
The program is looking for new varieties that possess desirable combinations of yield, protein, improved agronomic traits, broad adaptation, disease resistance and high weathering tolerance.
Aims:
Aims:
To report on an experiment at Inverleigh, Victoria, investigating the potential for earlier sowing to increase wheat yields in the face of autumn rainfall decline.
Aims:
To evaluate the performance of perennial grass and crops (Barley in 2013) when pasture cropped over different perennial species established on deep pale sands.
Aims:
This experiment was designed to increase the understanding of:
• canola yield potential in the high yielding irrigated zone of southern NSW
• the effect of climatic stress at different canola growth stages.
Aims:
This paper reports the findings of a field experiment conducted at Condobolin in 2019, where the phenology, yield and quality responses of 32 wheat varieties were evaluated across three sowing dates from late April to late May.
Aims:
This paper reports the results from a field experiment conducted at Condobolin in 2019 that evaluated the influence of three sowing dates on phenology and grain yield of 12 barley varieties.

Aims:
To see how slow maturing wheats sown early into stored water yielded in comparison to mid-fast varieties sown during the usual sowing window.
Aims:
Aims:
To determine whether sowing direction influences wheat and barley grain yields in the southern grains region.
Aims:
To determine if sowing direction and row spacing can be used to reduce grass weed populations, growth and seed set, and their impact on crop performance in the Mallee.
Aims:
To determine if sowing direction and row spacing can be used to reduce grass weed populations, growth and seed set, and their impact on crop performance in the Mallee.
Aims:
To outline how farmers can maximise wheat yield on long fallow by sowing early with slow developing cultivars.
Aims:
To compare the early grazing and yield potential of winter wheat varieties sown very early in response to summer rain.
Aims:
Issue upper EP farmers identified as a problem was sowing into retained pasture residue with pasture vines causing issues with blockages at sowing and uneven germination. The trial at Mount Cooper was designed to compare crop establishment and production, and weed and pest control effectiveness in the presence and absence of legume pasture resid… read more
Aims:
To determine the effect of sowing rate, nitrogen fertiliser rate and timing on wheat and barley crop establishment, tiller production, head counts at harvest, grain yield and grain quality.
Aims:
Aims:
To investigate the effect of sowing rate on yield of hybrid canola varieties compared with open pollinated varieties.
Aims:
Aims:
To determine whether the potential benefits of sowing on last year’s crop row to harvest any extra water and nutrition can outweigh risks of increased disease pressure and lead to better crop performance on Mallee soil types
Aims:
Trials in the Mallee have highlighted the benefits of strong early crop establishment and nutrition, particularly on sands. Non-wetting (or water repellent) sands have presented additional challenges. Global Positional System (GPS) guided seeding is increasingly common and presents the opportunity for strategic placement of seed in relation to l… read more

Aims:
To investigate the effect of the sowing treatment on weed populations and crop performance on two contrasting soil types (a dune sand and a heavier clay loam swale).
Aims:
To assess wether recent field pea breeding advancements in resistance to blackspot are significant enough to allow management changes to sowing time in this crop.

To investigate a spader machine for lime incorporation.
Aims:
The spader trials were set up at several sites ranging from 0.5 ha to whole paddocks. The growers wanted
the spader to incorporate clay, lime and/or organic matter, or just improve the friability of the soil.
