Aims:
To test whether disturbance seeding systems overcome water repellence in non-wetting gravels and other soil health issues over time.
Aims:
The aim of this trial is to determine and demonstrate if stubble management treatments can lead to a reduction in conical snail numbers.
The trial is based on techniques used in SA where snails on the stubble are knocked to the ground on to days (35 deg +) where they dehydrate and die.
The trial tested and analysed the eff… read more
Aims:

Aims:
To compare three legume crops in farmer scale seeding strip trials at three locations in the Albany Port Zone. Demonstrations will compare several legume crops in different soil types in different micro-environments. The same trial sites will be monitored in 2019 to determine the effects (positive or negative) of the legume break crop on the sub… read more

Aims:
To provide wheat growers in the Great Southern Region of WA with a winter-wheat varietal decision-making tool that provides them with credible and independent yield, disease & grain quality information to make the most profitable variety decisions.
Aims:
To work out what are the most important factors affecting bait efficacy on small pointed snails.
Aims:
The aim of this trial is to assess the viability of long season wheat in the HRZ.
Aims:
This one-year investment aimed to provide growers and advisers along the South Coast of WA with greater confidence to make decisions on whether to sow a cereal crop later in the growing season (late winter, early spring) after crop failure, or inability to seed, due to early season waterlogging. It also aimed to provide some data on what varieti… read more
Aims:
The objective of the four small plot trials is to provide statistically sound data that will inform farmer and consultant decision making in years of early waterlogging, where they are considering late sown cereals as an option. The trials will be professionally implemented and managed by industry best practice standards to ensure the data is re… read more
Aims:
To determine how best to ameliorate subsoil acidity.
Aims:
Aims:
This investment aimed to locally validate previous R&D investment relating to spring sown crops (albeit include newer crop types and varieties where suitable), building local grower and adviser knowledge to inform decisions when managing excess soil moisture. It aimed to provide production and economic information from both farm-scale demonstrat… read more
Aims:
The trial aimed to address the lack of long-term lime trials taking place in the Albany Port Zone.
The aim was to evaluate five different lime sources from the southwest to determine were differences in their effect on soil pH and yields.
Aims:
The trials aim was to assess and evaluate the effectiveness of mid-row banding (MRB) nitrogen, to improve N use efficiency and yields.
The trial involved both a small plot trial at South Stirlings and a broadacre site at Kendenup.
The broadscale trial contained two treatments where 125kg/ha of Urea was applied at seeding. T… read more
Aims:
To demonstrate the feed value of high biomass summer forage crops for increasing stocking rates and live weight gain of prime lambs and beef cattle compared to current systems used in the high rainfall zone.
Aims:
The trial aims to explore management options for non-wetting soils in the Albany port zone.
Conventional methods of managing non-wetting soils involve mechanical disturbance to mix non-wetting particles with wettable particles. This trial explores the best options for placement of wetters, and wetter types for managing non-wetting soil… read more
Aims:
To, through three years of trials, deliver key elements of a demonstrated and communicated variety specific HRZ Noodle Wheat production package.
Aims:
By 2023, growers will have increased the value of the cropping phase in the HRZ farming system by 10% by addressing both crop yield potential and the gap between potential and realised yields.
This trial aims to explore ways to optimise crop production in the HRZ.
This trial looks at verity types, deep ripping and sowing times… read more
Aims:
To enable growers to make timely and efficient nitrogen decisions in the Albany and Esperance port zones by having a rule of thumb around the cost/benefit of feeding N to crops on waterlogged soils.
Aims:
By 2023, growers will have increased the value of the cropping phase in the HRZ farming system by 10% by addressing both crop yield potential and the gap between potential and realised yields.
Aims:
To evaluate species and pasture phase systems (including hard seeded annuals) for light sand-plain soils (with low pH and low available soil water) in crop-based rotations.
Aims:
This project looked at the long-term effect of P rates on crop production in the APZ.
Aims:
The aim of this trial is to evaluate and analyse the effect of deep ripping with inclusion plates on moving surface-applied lime into acidic sub-soil of deep sandy duplex. Additionally, this trial tested farm-sourced lime against commercial grade lime.
Aims:
To evaluate the grain yield and economic benefit of soil amelioration and controlled traffic practices on a broader range of soil types across the grain growing region of WA.
This trial aims to increase the knowldege and adpotion of deep ripping techniques and controlled traffic to allieviate non-wetting soils, compaction and waterlo… read more

To report on a three seeder trial.
Aims:
To provide the UAV rhizo summary.
Aims:
This trial aims to assist growers in making informed decisions around the construction of sub-surface drainage to reduce the impacts of waterlogging on crop production and farm profitability. By 2024, 45% of growers whose properties are affected by waterlogging will have a good understanding of the yield benefits and time to return on investment… read more
