ALTERNATIVE IRRIGATED SUMMER CROPS

The project aimed to identify the potential for alternative summer crops in increasing the $return/ML water. It looked at demonstrating summer pulses (suitable for human consumption), summer grain crops (suitable for livestock consumption) and also various grazing fodder species.

Informing investment in irrigated grains R&D in southern NSW

A new project being conducted by the Irrigated Cropping Council, NSW DPI, Deakin University, Murray Local Land Service and Precision Agriculture, with financial support from GRDC, started in July 2014. The long-term objective is to ‘increase grain 
production and profitability from surface irrigated soils in the GRDC Southern Region by improving the understanding of the interaction between crops, soils, and irrigation and their effects on crop production’.

Irrigation Discussion Group Focus Paddock - Adaptable Farm Systems Case Studies

To assist farmers with their decision making by showcasing successful irrigation farm systems in local case studies.

To enable farmers to learn from others by understanding their background story, current practices and short / medium / long-term decision-making processes that assist with businesses adapting to an everchanging operating environment.

To gain the maximum value for our farm businesses in the irrigation discussion group they were actively involved in the process of collecting the case study information in farm walks.

Irrigation Discussion Group Focus Paddock - High Input Irrigated Durum Wheat

The majority of durum growers are trying to push yield towards 10 tonnes/ha which is resulting in some variability in quality and potential downgrading if protein requirements are not met. This trial aimed to investifgate end of season nitrogen (flag leaf) application, growth regulants and irrigation strategies and their influence that these have on final yield and quality.

Maximising on-farm irrigation profitability project

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.
