• To assess the effect of nitrogen rate and timing on wheat yield and grain quality
• To assess the impact of sowing rate on grain yield and quality

• To assess the impact of foliar disease control on the yield and quality of different wheat varieties
• To gather further data on the agronomic performance of various wheat varieties

The overall objective is to determine the influence of strobilurin fungicide application on the nitrogen requirement for malting barley.

• To test responses of barley to a range of fungicide disease control regimes using two different timings of the foliar fungicide Bumper and the in-furrow fertilizer treatment impact.
• To determine which fungicide strategies are optimum for use on barley
• To compare the responsiveness of various barley varieties to different fungicide regimes

To evaluate a number of commercial and experimental barley varieties for yield and grain quality.

The aim of this trial is to evaluate the timing of insecticide treatments and the use of insecticide seed dressings on deterring aphids from feeding on newly sown wheat.

• To evaluate different canola varieties for yield and grain quality.
• To assess the value of using Jockey® as a seed treatment.

To conduct yield trials were conducted on conventional, triazine-tolerant and Clearfield canola. 

Trials were established to evaluate a range of canola varieties and breeders lines under a range of environments in the South East of SA.

To gather information from the experiments for use to select material for commercial release and provide current information to crop advisers and farmers.

Information from the experiments is used to select material for commercial release and provide current information to crop advisers
and farmers.

Crop evaluation experiments are conducted by Department of Primary Industries every year with the aim of identifying high yielding varieties that meet specific grain quality requirements and are suitable for the regions long cool season conditions.

To investigate the effectiveness of elemental sulphur in canola,

To assess dual purpose wheat, triticale and oat varieties for dry matter production, recovery from grazing and grain yield.

To evaluate plant growth regulators currently used on canola in the UK.

The overall objective was to determine the influence of Jockey seed treatment with and without follow up fungicides, either one or two
applications.

The background and objectives for this trial are identical to those set out for the MacKellar trial, though the variety Kellalac gives the opportunity of looking at the influence of plant population, nitrogen timing and nitrogen rate on a spring APW wheat as opposed to a winter feed wheat.

• To assess the grain and forage production of winter wheat following simulated grazing at 2 different crop growth stages.
• To determine the total return from grain and forage dry matter.

This trial is part of larger GRDC funded project, which examines whether lower plant populations and later timed nitrogen approaches are suited to the HRZ in Australia, it also examines whether these techniques which were principally established for wheat can be used in malting barley, where high protein can be undesirable.

The objective of this trial was to evaluate a number of new and existing fungicides for the control of Wheat Leaf Rust (Puccinia recondita) in Kellalac Wheat.

The objectives of these trials are very similar to those pursued last season, those being to establish guidelines on the use of foliar applied fungicides in barley crops.

These trials taking place in southern Victoria and Tasmania were conducted to examine the response of more disease resistant
varieties to triazole and strobilurin fungicides in the near absence of disease.

With the large majority of wheat cultivars now deemed to be susceptible to stripe rust, in particular the new WA pathotype, this trial was set up to look at economic response to different foliar fungicide timings. In addition the trial continued the evaluation of the strobilurin fungicides (as part of project SFS 00006), the first of which was registered for broad acre cereals in Australia in August 2004 (Amistar Xtra).

To demonstrate the value of pulses.

To evaluate the performance of Dividend seed treatment and to determine its efficacy in controlling the soil borne root rotting disease
Pythium in wheat as well as other potential seed borne and seedling diseases.

This trial was designed to compare the amount of irrigation water required by canola on raised beds with conventionally prepared ground.

To examine Rhizobia response in faba beans

To assess the impact of commercially available seed treatments on wheat yield and quality.

The aim of this trial was to further compare existing triticale varieties and evaluate new breeding material.
