High value, low volume cropping

To find crop species suitable to Kangaroo Island conditions, which were either:
• of higher value per tonne than currently grown milling wheat, or
• low yielding yet high value to reduce the per hectare freight cost.

Investment in WA-Focused Linseed Agronomy.

The objective of the project is to support the introduction and scale up of commercial cultivation of Linseed in the Great Southern region of Western Australia and will support a larger initiative developed by Southern Dirt to develop a localised Linseed supply chain to take the crop from paddock to consumer on the back of renewed demand for Linseed’s omega 3 oil composition and capturing additional value for local growers.

Consistent supply with volume is imperative to develop a market that has the ability to realise the full value of Linseed produced. In order for growers to take up production it is important they have a full agronomic package available to grow the crop successfully.

Additionally, Linseed needs to generate an equivalent return per hectare of alternative rotational crops such as canola in order to expand into the rotation.

The key objectives of this project are:  

A: To determine if Linseed can be successfully grown under dryland farming conditions in the Great Southern region of Western Australia with the potential to scale up to commercial cultivation.

B: To determine if any investment is required into machinery and infrastructure by growers to grow linseed.

C: To develop basic agronomic guidelines to grow linseed in WA.

D: To assess the yield potential of two commercially available linseed varieties grown under dryland conditions in WA, Croxton and Bilney.

Year 2 - Improving nitrogen use efficiency via legumes in high rainfall cropping

This was the second year of a three-year trial, funded by the South Australian Grains Industry Trust (SAGIT), to evaluate the nitrogen fixation capabilities of various legume species commonly grown on Kangaroo Island.

In this second year, the trial was set up to answer the following questions:

  • Which of the four legume species had fixed the most nitrogen (N) in the 2016 season?
  • How much N did these legume crops fix?
  • How much of the N fixed by the legume was utilised by the following crop? Concurrently, how much N was lost through leaching or denitrification?
