Comparing the influence of organic matter and fertiliser inputs on soil organic carbon and grain productionTo identify on-farm management strategies to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) and quantify any associated risks and benefits in a grain production system. In this trial the NSPNR wanted to detrmine whether: Altering inputs to increase plant biomass would subsequently increase soil carbon, and amending soils with compost would increase soil carbon storage or provide agronomic benefits. |

Grain and Graze 3 - Grazing crops and frostThe trial aims to see the benefits of crop grazing at various times of sowing, to increase feed availability for stock, while retaining winter pastures and to find out whether crop grazing can be utilised in delaying the flowering window to reduce the impact of frost. It also aims to assess the impact of grazing times against the grain yield and quality across various species and varieties. |

Incorporating Lime to depth on duplex Wheatbelt soilsThe aim of this trial is to quantify the value of lime applications using different incorporation methods and compare the economic and agronomic returns of each. This trial also includes an application of a rapidly acidifying Elemental Sulphur to demonstrate how soils and crops will perform 10-years into the future if no action is taken to maintain pH levels. The trial also aims to analyse the interactions between each incorporation technique and its effects on ameliorating other crop constraints.
The objective is to give growers a greater understanding of different methods of lime incorporation and the most cost-effective practice locally and to extend on these findings with other research being conducted on varying soil types throughout the state, so that growers can make informed decisions for implementing their own liming strategy. |

Increasing the profitability of the double break roatation of the MRZ of WA Wheatbelt through incorporation of an early sown high value pulse.To demonstrate that growing canola (with effective weed control options) followed by a high value legume (with higher economic value) can lead to an effective and profitable double break crop sequence. The contribution of an early sowing date to increase the profitability of these crops will also be evaluated. |

Summer grazing optionsTo provide farmers in the Facey Group grower region with new options for sustainable grazing and summer pasture species. Growers have identified the need for drought tolerant summer grazing options rather than traditional options more suited to higher rainfall zones. This trial aims to compare tedera to the more commonly used annual pasture species – annual ryegrass, serradella and subterranean clover to fill the summer and autumn feed gap. |
