To deal with the issue of sustainable agriculture.

• To investigate an agronomic solution to waterlogging through the use of Agpipe.

• To investigate the use of slotted drainpipe (Agpipe) for removal of water from waterlogged crops.

The aim of this research was to benchmark yield potential across a range of growing environments in the NGR over two consecutive seasons, and to quantify the effect genotype (G), management (M) and environment (E) had on yield.

• To test the performance of a range of subsoil amendments.

To evaluate management options and determine the yield and grain quality impacts of aphids in wheat, durum and barley.

To evaluate management options and determine the yield and grain quality impacts of aphids in wheat, durum and barley.

To see whether green manure a viable management option (in terms of maintenance of ground cover and other agronomic benefits) as we know that terminating cover crops will result in 100% seed set control providing that the crop is effectively killed at an appropriate time.

To assess the growth and yield of barley and wheat growing in a range of different established perennial pasture species.

To assess the grazing and grain potential of both MacKellar winter wheat and Yerong barley.

To assess the impact of deep ripping and spading on crop yield across three different soil types near Quairading, WA.

In this project we aim to compare the water use efficiency (WUE) and profitability of high versus low input cropping systems

To assess the impact of deep ripping on crop yield in a gravelly loam soil type near Muradup, WA.

To assess the impact of deep ripping on crop yield across varying sites on a farm near Nyabing, WA.

To assess the impact of deep ripping on crop yield in different soil types and production zones near Beverley, WA.

To provide growers with the tools needed to adopt site-specific weed management (SSWM) strategies as a result of a commercially viable weed ID and mapping system being demonstrated.

To investigate barley management options to close the yield gap and reduce pre-harvest losses

This investment will deliver a series of field trials and extension activities to reduce the yield gap between attainable yield and water limited yield potential in barley in the low – medium rainfall zones alongside virtual trial treatments derived by crop models to determine new attainable yield benchmarks for barley growers.

To build resilience into EP farms by understanding the interactions between soil potential, climate and management.

The aim of better grazing systems in the low rainfall wheat/sheep zone should be to increase pasture returns without negative effects on the cropping phase.

To improve the long term control of Rhizoctonia by increasing the understanding of the interactions between disease inoculum and natural soil suppressive activity and to improve the prediction and management of disease.

This paper addresses three issues:

• The challenges facing high input farming systems,
• How valid is biological farming as an alternative, and
• Can high input farming and alternative methods be integrated?

To investigate the possibility of reducing the inoculum of Fusarium graminearum in wheat stubble by spraying the stubble with spores of a harmless fungus, Trichoderma species, in order to control the disease.

To demonstrate the relative performances of the three canola options available to Western Australian growers

• To demonstrate the effect of crop canopy densities on pollination.

Improve canopy management and harvest index of Faba beans

• To determine the effect of agronomic practices, various herbicides and a plant growth regulant canopy architecture and grain yield of faba bean.

• To determine the effect of various plant growth regulant (PGR) hormones, herbicides,  fungicides and agronomic practices on canopy architecture and grain yield of faba bean.

To investigate swathing early then harvesting for weed seed collection to evaluate usefulness for farmers in providing another tool for integrated weed management, especially for barley grass that matures and sheds seed before crops ripen.

To evaluate if there is any difference in deriving management zones from soil or production spatial information and in what situations each of these layers may be useful to help maximise grower investment in PA technologies.
