Determining the economic impact of Native Budworm (Helicoverpa punctigera) in cereal crops in the Western RegionNative budworm actively feeding on cereals has not been an issue for growers or industry in the past, and considering the recent detections, growers and western region industry networks have voiced that they would like support on this issue, especially regarding sampling techniques and spray thresholds. To achieve this, we investigated this new behavioural trend and the population numbers required to cause economic yield losses to determine if and when management is required in non-traditional cereal hosts. Through pheromone-based moth trapping, crop inspections, glasshouse trials and a field cage trial, we investigated the behaviour of H. punctigera moths and larvae on, and potential economic damage to, wheat in the northern grainbelt of Western Australia. |

Investigating the value of companion cropping systems of chickpea and cereals for improved crop and fallow water use efficiency.Everyone knows that Queensland grows the best chickpeas, but chickpeas leave the soil quite bare. This bare soil then reduces our fallow efficiency (amount of fallow rainfall captured for use by the next crop), which is a big problem in an area that relies on stored soilwater for yield. Our team recently completed a study growing cover crops in the fallow to improve ground cover and soilwater available to the next crop, so we understand the value of ground cover and when we saw the opportunity to try growing the cover crop with our chickpeas we were keen to give it a go. Companion crops are not new or novel, they are in every home vege garden; from marigolds to keep the pests out of tomatoes, or flowers to attract pollinators into the pumpkin patch. What is novel is doing this on a broadacre scale and with mechanically harvested crops. A review by CSIRO (Fletcher et al 2016) showed potential to increase crop productivity with intercrops; particularly with ‘peaola’ (canola and fieldpea), which increase productivity by 50% in 24 of 34 studies reviewed. They also found cereal-legume intercrops to increase productivity in 64% of studies. That review focused on temperate cropping areas of southern Australian and internationally, so the question remains whether these systems will perform in a sub-tropical environment and a farming system reliant on stored soilwater for yield stability. Given our reliance on stored soilwater for maintaining grain yield and the fallow efficiency cost of low stubble cover following chickpea; we focused our efforts on wheat and chickpea, with the research questions of: Can we increase stubble cover after chickpea? and What is the yield impact of growing wheat and chickpea together as companion crops? |

Locally relevant spring and/or summer sown cropping opportunities for grain growers following excessive winter waterlogging – South-Western Australia.This investment aimed to locally validate previous R&D investment relating to spring sown crops (albeit include newer crop types and varieties where suitable), building local grower and adviser knowledge to inform decisions when managing excess soil moisture. It aimed to provide production and economic information from both farm-scale demonstrations and a small plot trial to inform good business decisions in regard to spring/summer sown crops. The trials evaluated the crop performance on a range of metrics to provide a thorough assessment of summer crops, and the role they can play in agronomic systems, and the potential they have to reduce the waterlogging risk. GRDC Outcome: By February 2023, 20% of Western Region Growers who farm in areas with a medium to high-risk of regular waterlogging will have built the knowledge and confidence to profitably sow a crop in spring or summer on paddocks were winter crops/pastures have failed due to excessive waterlogging or where soil moisture levels permit in future years. To achieve this outcome, Stirlings to Coast Farmers (SCF) worked with a number of other Grower Groups to ensure the key learnings of the trial were broadly and successfully extended to growers in the Great Southern Region of WA. |
