Early planting sorghum—Emerald This project will test the ability of sorghum to germinate and withstand cold temperatures during early growth stages in order to reduce heat stress during flowering and grain fill.	Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries GRDC	2018	Emerald QLD

Economic performance and system water-use-efficiency of farming systems Can systems performance be improved by modifying farming systems in the northern grains region? What is the impact on system WUE ($ gross margin return per mm of system water use)?	Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries	2018	Emerald QLD

Impact of crop species and crop sequencing on nematode, crown rot and common root rot inoculum loads—Northern Region Can systems performance be improved by modifying farming systems in the northern grains region? Specifically, what impact do crop species and crop sequences have on soil- and stubble-borne pathogens?	Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries	2018	Emerald QLD

Impact of crops and crop sequences on soil water accumulation and use in farming systems—Northern Region Can systems performance be improved by modifying farming systems in thenorthern grains region? What are the impacts of crops and crop sequences on soil water accumulation and use?	Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries	2017	Emerald QLD

Interactions of mungbean physiology in relation to timing of rainfall and time of sowing—Emerald This experiment has attempted to use rainfall timing (imitated by overhead irrigation) to mitigate the negative weather impacts on dry matter production both before and after flowering in an early and late summer TOS. A wide gap between TOS was deliberately used to create the largest contrast in weather conditions that the crop would experience and then monitor how the plant’s physiological development changes in relation to changing soil water conditions.

Northern Farming Systems site—Emerald What are the long-term impacts on systems performance (e.g. productivity, profitability and soil health) when six strategically different 'farming systems' are applied to one geographic location over a five year period?	Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries GRDC	2015	Emerald QLD

Optimising the phenology and grain yield of wheat genotypes—Emerald In 2018, field experiments were conducted across ten sites in the northern grains region in Central and Southern Queensland, and northern, central and southern New South Wales to determine optimal grain yield potential of wheat genotypes.	Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries GRDC	2018	Emerald QLD

The impact different farming systems have on soil nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium—Northern Region Can systems performance be improved by modifying farming systems? How does increasing legume frequency or nutrient inputs impact on system nutrient balance and use?	Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries	2016	Emerald QLD
