Resistance to phosphine in stored grain insects from farm storages in south-eastern Australia: 2016The aim of these projects was to monitor and detect strong resistance to phosphine in the five major stored grain beetle pests, as well as record all details that might have led to any development of resistance, in order to control these outbreaks, develop a phosphine resistance management strategy and,consequently, prolong the life of this fumigant. |

Management options for dry saline soils on Upper Yorke Peninsula: The second seasonThis research aims to trial and demonstrate different management practices which could be used by growers to ameliorate saline soil patches: 1) Amending soil with sand, straw or gypsum - application of amendments to the soil surface can improve crop emergence by reducing evaporation leading to more soil moisture, or by reducing the moisture required to germinate a seed by increasing the sand content of the soil surface. Gypsum was also included to increase the amount of calcium relative to the level of sodium (salt) and address sodicity in the longer-term. 2) Selecting crop types/varieties – to investigate the differences in crop performance on saline soils between crop types and varieties with improved salt tolerance. |
