To determine the most effective application timing of PGRs to two barley varieties, and at what yield potential their application is economical.

To determine whether Moddus Evo, applied with and without fungicide at different timings, influenced the level of lodging and head loss in Scope CL barley, and to compare its performance against other PGRs when applied at GS31.

This research aimed to determine the external critical phosphorus (P) requirement (i.e. the soil extractable-P concentration required to achieve 90% of maximum yield) of a range of pasture legume species under field conditions. This information can be used as a benchmark for soil testing and soil P fertility management on farms.

Eight barley varieties were sown at Condobolin and Parkes to assess the varietal response to N application and seeding rate on grain yield and quality.

To evaluate the effect of time of sowing (TOS) and nitrogen rate on grain yeild and grain quality for six current wheat varieties in low rainfall zone of central western NSW.

To test the hypothesis that less fertiliser P is required to acheive maximum grain yield if a mid-maturing variety (Hyola 559TT) is sown earlier than the traditional date of 25 April.

Aimed at establishing variety responses to sowing dates and different N rates and timings

To explore whether the nitrogen (N) benefits to subsequent cereals from the break crops, and savings from weed control, could offset the loss of income from break crops in the longer term. 

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of two commonly used PGRs on root growth. It was hypothesised that if root growth modification occurred due to PGR application it would be a result of either the PGR altering the allometric balance between roots and shoots; a modification of the allocation of photoassimilates between the root and shoot as a consequence of inhibiting shoot growth; or a translocation of PGR from the point of application to the roots to directly influence root growth.

To examine the interaction between plant density and nitrogen application in eight barley varieties in central west NSW.

The project has two components: an agronomy component that will assess the impact of varying surface irrigation management strategies (scheduling and frequency) on nitrogen use efficiency, water use efficiency and overall system profitability; and a hydrology component that will develop irrigation design criteria that will allow precise application of water in basin irrigation layouts, such as bankless channel systems, allowing flexible management to match recommendations from the project’s agronomy component.

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

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). 

This research identified the plant traits most likely to determine differences in external critical phosphorus (P) requirements (i.e. the soil extractable-P concentration required to achieve 90% of maximum yield) of pasture legume species. Understanding trait differences that affect critical P requirements of pasture legumes is important in providing confidence around field differences in external critical P requirement.

The aim of the trial was to assess the influence of PGR and nitrogen rates on the standability, head loss and yield of
an irrigated barley crop. We also wanted to observe the fit for PGR’s in a later planted crop with perceived yield
limitations due to season length.

The purpose of this experiment was to apply Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) to a high input durum wheat crop to
understand the impact of PGRs on standability and grain protein. The trial also included a variety split within a field
