This trial was located at Cunderdin in the grainbelt of Western Australia and investigated combinations of canola variety (Hybrid or open pollinated), crop row spacing (25 or 50cm) and canola seeding rate (20, 35 or 50 plants/m2) on wild radish (WR) competitiveness and seed production.

To investigate the response to changing the nitrogen rate and changing the time of application. Canola yield and oil will be measured and RR hybrids will be compared with open-pollinated TT types (OP TT).

The aim of this work is to increase the sources of multi-disease resistant germplasm available for barley variety improvement in Australia. This is being achieved by screening and identifying possible sources of resistance to barley scald and other diseases from the centres of origin of barley cultivation. 

The aim of this experiment was to develop a better understanding of cool shock as an environmental trigger for LMA expression under controlled environment conditions. 

Please note that the trial was to find out the effect of a cool temperature treatment during grain filling in wheat.

To examine targeting maximum yields of irrigated wheat in southern NSW.

To examine tailoring barley plant density to specific varieties in order to maximise yield and quality

To determine the optimum sowing date, phenology and nitrogen management to optimise grain yield within the Central West region of NSW. These combinations were tested across two contrasting scenarios: irrigation versus dryland.

To investigate the effect of sowing time and variety on yield and oil concentration of canola (Brassica napus)

This experiment was designed to determine the response of six canola varieties with diverse phenology and breeding (hybrid or open-pollinated (OP)) to varying stored soil water levels across two sowing dates.

These experiments were conducted to evaluate whether thrips controls applied at the thrips threshold led to higher or lower yields when compared with treatments at a lower threshold (one thrips per plant) and a non-spray treatment. The local cotton industry supported commercialscale experiments over small plot experiments. 

To compare a standard practice of an upfront MAP fertiliser only, to this same rate of MAP plus a Twin N foliar application.

To assist growers with variety, nitrogen management and sowing date decisions to maximise irrigated canola yield potential.

To determine if early sowing canola will improve the efficiency of teh use of stored water.

To provide further information regarding sowing rates and optimum plant densities.

To answer the question, 'How much damage is done to soil by occasional tillage, strategically applied, in an otherwise direct drilled system?'.

To evaluate the effects of varietal selection, sowing date, plant population and N management on grain yield, oil content and lodging

This experiment investigated the irrigation water requirements of a wheat crop and the impact of irrigation intensity and water ponding on grain yield, grain quality, water use and water use efficiency. 

An irrigated faba bean experiment was established at Leeton Field Station in 2020 to determine the effect of sowing time and irrigation on four varieties of faba bean in southern NSW.  

The effect of sowing date and irrigation management on faba bean – Leeton 2021

The effect of variety, plant density and nitrogen management on grain yield was evaluated for a second year at the NSW DPI Leeton Field Station (LFS). 

The experiment at Leeton evaluated the effect of variety, time of sowing, plant population and their interactions on canola grain yield, grain quality (oil content) and crop growth (lodging and harvest index). 

This soybean experiment was conducted at the NSW DPI Leeton Field Station to test the response of three commercial varieties and five unreleased lines to three sowing times. 

To evaluate strategies for season long control of Tarvine.

This experiment evaluated the effect of variety and nitrogen rate on grain yield and protein concentration for six wheat varieties.

To report on the effect of sowing rate on the performance of wheat in the Forbes and Parkes districts

To examine the interaction between additional nitrogen application above grower practice and the response to plant growth regulator (PGR).

To promote the eXtensionAUS Crop Nutrition online learning network

Can systems performance be improved by modifying farming systems? How does increasing legume frequency or nutrient inputs impact on system nutrient balance and use?

The experiments are part of a project to validate whether the Australian Cotton Industry thrips threshold applies in southern NSW cotton production areas.

To discuss the agronomy of durum wheats.

The study has been designed to examine the use of mixed legume swards which incorporate a mix of hardseeded legumes or hardseeded legumes sown with traditional legumes. Our aim over the lifetime of the study is to quantify the effect of mixed legume swards on livestock productivity and health as well as the balance between sown species and weeds.
