Aims:
To test the benefits of fluid delivery systems in relation to the effects of trace elements, macro nutrients and fungicides on control of cereal root and leaf diseases and grain yield.
Aims:
To assess the extent and severity of trace element deficiencies on Eyre Peninsula and if existing guidelines developed some 20-40 years ago for trace element management packages need adapting for current farming systems.
Aims:
To test the benefits of fluid delivery systems in relation to the effects of trace elements, macro nutrients and fungicides on control of cereal root and leaf diseases and grain yield.
Aims:
To establish which of the following components has the greater effect on yield: liquid, granular or combined liquid/granular forms of fertiliser nitrogen, phosphorus and trace elements, and in-furrow fungicide.
Aims:
To compare crop performance and gross margin returns for a range of fluid and granular nitrogen and phosphorus fertiliser treatments in conjunction with trace elements and in-furrow fungicide.
Aims:
To test for crop response to the application of manganese fertiliser and for any interaction with nitrogen.
Aims:
To investigate what macro and micro nutrients are required in order to increase grain yield using a fluid system.
Aims:
To discuss canola and juncea canola for low rainfall areas in the next season.
Aims:
To present the Cereal Variety Disease Guide for 2011.
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 discuss options for canola and juncea canola for low rainfall areas in 2010.
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 investigate selection of canola lines for low rainfall environments in south eastern Australia
Aims:
To examine relationships between zinc sufficiency and tolerance to heat stress in wheat.
Aims:
To conduct a zinc fertiliser program and placement technology demonstration.
Aims:
To examine the relationship between chlorsulfuron application and crop zinc nutrition and root growth.
Aims:
To understand management factors influencing cadmium concentration of grain in field grown wheat.
Aims:
To test the relative effectiveness of a zinc spray to the soil surface compared to zinc-enriched fertilizers for correcting zinc deficiency in wheat.
Aims:
To deal with aspects of a large project on diagnosis of the deficiency, yield responses to zinc, residual value of zinc, protein increases and improvement of quality, and genotypic effects in relation to zinc.
Aims:
To determine if and how manganese deficiency in lupins can be overcome.
Aims:
To investigate the tolerance of barley genotypes to manganese-deficient calcarious soil on Eyre Peninsula.
Aims:
To establish the relative tolerance of triticale, wheat and rye to zinc and copper deficiency at a range soil pH.
Aims:
To investigate the effects of rates of initial and subsequent applications of zinc on maize yields grown on black earth soils of north western NSW.
Aims:
To investigate the response of soybean varieties to foliar zinc application.
Aims:
To establish the most satisfactory method to correct manganese deficiency in barley on calcareous sands
