Maximising on-farm irrigation profitability projectThe 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. |

Irrigation Discussion Group Focus Paddock - High Input Irrigated Durum WheatThe 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. |

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. |
