Comparison of different green manure crops as tools for renovation cropping and evaluating economic benefits at Mullewa on a heavy soil

This research determines to assess the benefits (economic and environmental) of a green manure phase under current cropping systems in areas with a poor nutritional status. 

To evaluate crop types and incorporation techniques to rejuvenate poor performing soils using a green manure phase, as well as to identify and evaluate the potential longevity of benefits on a heavy loam soil in Mullewa, Western Australia over five years.

HYC Disease Management Germplasm Interaction

To develop profitable and sustainable approaches to disease management in high yielding and HRZ regions.
Individual objectives specific to the trial were:
- To evaluate whether newer germplasm or new fungicide chemistry allows a reduction in the number of fungicide applications whilst increasing profitability (note: reducing the number of fungicides is seen as a key measure for slowing down resistance development in cropping systems).
- Examine whether there is germplasm (varieties tested) that has sufficient early season disease resistance to replace the need for the “at sowing fungicide” and Timing 1 (T1) spray applied at GS31-32.
- To determine the cost benefit ratio of fungicide application in HRZ regions of different season lengths.

HYC Elite Screen (Yielded)

To assess the performance of winter and spring wheat germplasm that has shown potential in either HYC 1st stage screening or breeder’s trials with characteristics that may be suitable for regions with high yield potential. The yielded trial was grown under Hyper Yielding Crop management system with full fungicide protection (20th April sown).

Nutrition for Hyper Yielding Wheat

To assess the value of higher nutrition input (N, P, K & S) for wheat in the growing season.
Individual objectives specific to the trials were:
- To assess the value of additional nutrients in the growing crop (set up as small plots at the HYC Research sites).
- To assess the value of adding increased P and K when targeting higher yield potential rather than N alone.
