trials

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
to understand the interaction between durum wheat varieties.

The aim of this trial is to compare a range of ‘N banking targets’  to ‘N crop demand’ driven N application strategies in terms of their impact on productivity (yield, protein), profitability (gross margin, risk) and sustainability (soil organic matter, carbon footprint,  losses) in diverse soil types in the LRZ.

The project aimed to identify factors limiting N2 fixation and productivity of pulse crops grown on acidic soils in the high rainfall zone (HRZ) Southern Grain production region.

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.
