To evaluate the impact of header front adaptation on mungbean grain loss at harvest

This project aimed to quantify the level of grain loss under commercial conditions and also the impact of management changes to reduce thoselosses. This trial evaluated the impact of air assist on grain losses from an AWS air bar mounted on a John Deere 640D draper front.

A trial west of Corrigin has shed some new light on what can happen to crop production in the second year after mouldboard ploughing of non wetting grey sandy soils. Non wetting soils pose a significant challenge to growing crops in many parts of the wheatbelt and crops grown on these soils can suffer poor seedling establishment, poor weed control and depressed crop yield.
