To discuss nitrogen inputs from pasture and patterns of release for crops.

Under the new NVT Pathology Services Agreement 2019–23, the total number of diseases and crop species being screened in NSW has increased. Eight different crop types, both cereal and broadleaf, are annually screened for a total of 17 different diseases across three climatically and agronomically diverse sites within NSW (NSW DPI research stations based at Grafton, Tamworth and Wagga Wagga).

This experiment compared different rhizobia inoculant formulations on nodulation, growth and yield of field pea, lupin, faba bean, lentil and chickpea under varying rain-fed and soil moisture conditions on an acidic, red-brown earth at Wagga Wagga in the south-eastern cropping zone of southern NSW

To determine the effect of N rate on the yield and grain quality of eight popular bread wheat varieties at Coolah in central NSW in 2015. 

Nitrogen (N) is the nutrient most required by wheat. It is essential for growth and development, and yield and grain protein levels. In recent seasons in Central West NSW there has been a significant trend towards very low grain protein levels with more than 30% of grain receivals meeting ASW or lower specifications. Protein levels of <10.5% in a prime hard variety usually indicate that insufficient N levels have not only limited grain protein concentrations, but also yield. Soil testing for N levels before sowing remains an important budgeting tool. It is the most useful indicator if more applied N is needed to support crop growth and to maximise yield and grain protein potential within a given season. Consideration must also be given to starting soil water and target yield. This trial aimed to determine the effect of N rate on the yield and grain quality of eight popular bread wheat varieties at Coolah in central NSW in 2015.

To report on the outcomes of the nutrition experiments conducted across northern NSW in 2015. 

 To report on the outcomes of a series of faba bean variety × density experiments across northern NSW. 

The 2015 season was characterised by severe frost events, episodic cold weather during flowering and terminal drought during grain filling. These seasonal conditions severely affected crop performance, reducing the potential yield of faba beans across most areas of the northern NSW cropping zone. The Northern Pulse Agronomy Initiative (NPAI; Winter Pulse) project conducted a range of experiments covering a number of different agronomic themes in 2015. This paper reports on the outcomes of a series of faba bean variety × density experiments across northern NSW.

The Australian Soybean Breeding Program develops varieties for diverse production environments across a 3000 km range from the Atherton Tablelands in far north Queensland (Latitude 17.2661°S, Longitude 145.4859°E) to the Riverina in southern New South Wales (Latitude 29.7503°S, Longitude 120.5530°E).

The program focuses on strategies to broaden the range of adaptation of new cultivars (James & Lawn, 2011), and to complete the transition from traditional dark hilum types that supply lower-value crushing markets to clear hilum types with the grain qualities required for human consumption markets. Advances in yield, disease resistance and other agronomic traits are also targeted.

Primarily, a single seed descent method is used to advance populations to the F4 level of inbreeding. Varieties from the Australian Soybean Breeding Program are not genetically modified (non-GMO). Regional evaluation and selection for environmental adaptation and specific regional traits is carried out across a wide range of environments in the target production regions. Typically, new soybean lines progress through stages of small-scale replicated evaluations for 6–8 seasons, with processors conducting small-scale grain evaluations. Advanced lines then complete evaluation in replicated on-farm experiments before commercial licensing and release.

3. the variation in N2O across a two metre cross section of hills and furrows within a cotton crop.
