To report on mechanisms of weed suppression in early vigour and weed suppressive wheat genotypes.

To provide information regarding managing your crop's nitrogen.

To improve decision making amongst local farmers by improving the knowledge and understanding of the economic relationships which exist in our farming systems, and improving skills of participants to assess particularly the economic consequences of their decision making in critical areas within their farm business.

To examine two main management options to deal with high stubble loads (≥5t/ha) in 2017, and incorporates many of the main findings from the stubble initiative to date.

To investigate the effects of different soil ameliorants at different rates on sodic soils.

To test the hypothesis that over time in controlled traffic farming systems the repeated uneven spreading of header residue back over the tram track width would result in changed soil conditions that would ultimately lead to different “management zones” along the tram track.

To identify any possible impacts on crop growth in controlled traffic systems where the header residue maybe inconsistently spread back across the tram track width over a number of seasons.

To report on interactions between management practices and soil biota in northern farming systems.

To test the optimum sowing time for long season wheat cultivars uisng three target sowing dates.

To determine the success of Pasture Cropping for different starting pasture compositions and crop sequences (i.e. the difference betweencropping year-after-year compared to doing it once) in comparison to No Till cropping and pasture treatments. Success will be assessed by the profitability of the crop, the grazing value of the pasture, perennial grass recruitment and resource condition.
