Aims:
To assess the strategic use of nitrogen in the form of urea totarget 10t/ha spring wheat yield under irrigation.
Aims:
To investigate the extent that nitrogen rates impact canola yield and how this interacts with water use
Aims:
Different nitrogen rates and application timings will be examined to determine which management approach can maximise yield without compromising the end market.
The intention is to observe how such treatments impact yield and grain quality of irrigated barley.
Aims:
The aim of the trial was to assess the influence of PGR and nitrogen rates on the standability, head loss and yield of
an irrigated barley crop. We also wanted to observe the fit for PGR’s in a later planted crop with perceived yield
limitations due to season length.
Aims:
The purpose of this experiment was to apply Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) to a high input durum wheat crop to
understand the impact of PGRs on standability and grain protein. The trial also included a variety split within a field
to understand the interaction between durum wheat varieties.
Aims:
To monitor for 3 key pests in maize crops - Heliothis, Fall Armyworm & Two Spotted Mites, then apply treatments that are IPM friendly if needed (Bugs for Bugs and IPM friendly insecticides). The demonstration block will be compared to the farmers conventional treatments on the crop.

Aims:
To supply all the maize crops nutritional needs as identified through tissue testing at three growth stages thought the season and see what the maximum yield potential is. Compare this with farmer pratice to understand the economics of pushing yield.
Aims:
To keep plants actively growing for as many months of the year as practicable by including Mung Beans, a 100 day summer crop.
Aims:
To investigate the impact of deep ripping and soil amelioration on sodic subsoils
Aims:
To improve soil health and nitrogen availability through soil amendments and deep ripping
Aims:
The aim of the focus paddock was to look at growing the higher yields and understand the impact of this on residual Nitrogen left behind in the soil. Many growers use Faba Beans in their rotation to try and fix non bagged N
Aims:
Currently many growers rely upon the use of Zeal® (Etoxazole), applied to the crop via a helicopter to control mites post tasselling in the maize. Some growers are wishing to reduce their reliance upon insecticides and enable the beneficial insects to increase on their farms. Predatory mites were released at a demonstration site in Cooma to s… read more
