Effect of sowing date, nitrogen application rates and timing on grain yield and quality of six wheat varieties - Merriwagga 2015Varieties can differ in their ability to yield at various sowing dates. The same goes for their response to various rates of nitrogen and how they turn that nitrogen into yield and protein. This trial was designed to measure the influence of sowing date and nitrogen rate across six common wheat varieties. |

Transitioning family farming businessesThe Transitioning Family Farming Businesses project proposed to facilitate a discussion in the WA grains industry regarding its future industry development requirements around the establishment of farm advisory boards. It did this through the delivery of: • Needs analysis of the Australian grains industry regarding the development of farm advisory boards using leading farmers and key industry stakeholders in; o a series of in-depth interviews, and o an industry forum. • Develop an outline of a training programme that, once developed, will support grain businesses in their implementation of an advisory board of management. • Develop fact sheets regarding the establishment of farm advisory boards. • Provide an opportunity for members of the project team to participate with other leading businesses at a national level through; o Participation in the National Farm Advisory Board Forum, and o Participation in the Family Business Australia “Family Business Directors • Delivery of information on the establishment of farm boards at identified industry conferences and field days. |

Increasing profitability through utilisation of combined technologies to target input strategies to productive capacity of soilsTo (i) ground truth through statistical analysis of small plot trials current practices of leading farmers in regards to the use of Variable Rate Technology (VRT), predictive yield modelling and nutrition modelling in improving water use efficiency and hence profitability; (ii) address the hypothesis that greater return on investment can be achieved through targeted nutrition applications according to variety, production zone, plant available water (PAW) and seasonal conditions; (iii) assist in the generation of data to extend the process of using soil moisture probe data in conjunction with Yield Prophet (YP) simulations to assist with production decisions for different soil zones (with differing PAWC), with particular focus on top-up nitrogen. |

Copper management for the future - three years of trials on lower EPThis project aimed to explore different management strategies to overcome copper deficiency in cereals. The project compared the effectiveness of copper sulfate and copper chelate applied either as liquids banded at seeding or as a foliar spray. The project also evaluated the effect of different timings of application of the foliar sprays and their efficiency. |

Demonstrating integrated weed management strategies to control barley grass in low rainfall zone farming systemsWhy do the trial? - early onset of seed production, which reduces effectiveness of crop-topping or spray-topping in pastures, Barley grass management is likely to be more challenging in the low rainfall zone because the growing seasons tend to be more variable in terms of rainfall, which can affect the performance of the pre-emergence herbicides. Furthermore, many growers in these areas tend to have lower budgets for management tactics, and break crops are generally perceived as more risky than cereals. Therefore, wheat and barley tend to be the dominant crops in the low rainfall zone. This project is undertaking coordinated research with farming systems groups across the Southern and Western cropping regions to demonstrate tactics that can be reliably used to improve the management of barley grass. |

Dryland Legume Pasture Systems: pasture demonstration sitesOver the past three decades there has been a shift from integrated crop-livestock production to intensive cropping in dry areas, which has significantly reduced the resilience of farms in low to medium rainfall areas. Intensive cropping is prone to herbicide resistant weeds, large nitrogen fertiliser requirements, and major financial shocks due to frost, drought or low grain prices. |

Increasing adoption of new techniques combining physical, chemical and plant based interventions to improve soil function on Eyre PeninsulaTrials and demonstrations involving soil mixing either with a spader or ripping with inclusion plates have been shown to increase yields on sandy soils on Eyre Peninsula (EP). Many of these trials have included the addition of organic material incorporated at rates of 5-10 t/ha. Whilst generally these treatments have provided yield increases for a number of years post application, the rates applied have proven to be uneconomic (EPFS 2019, p 71). This project was originally developed by the Lower Eyre Ag |
