Copper management for the future - three years of trials on lower EPThis project aimed to explore different management strategies to overcome copper deficiency in cereals. The project compared the effectiveness of copper sulfate and copper chelate applied either as liquids banded at seeding or as a foliar spray. The project also evaluated the effect of different timings of application of the foliar sprays and their efficiency. |

Spatial variability of soil acidity and response to liming in cropped lands of the Victorian High Rainfall ZoneThis project will provide information on within-paddock variation in soil pH and related soil properties, in different regions of the High Rainfall Zone (HRZ). To do this, we will map the horizontal and vertical variations in soil pH across 10 cropping paddocks in the Victorian HRZ. This will demonstrate to farmers how soil pH varies spatially and the economic benefits of targeting management of soil acidity to different zones within each paddock. |

Seeding Systems to improve cereal crop establishment on heavy textured soils
This project will demonstrate to growers the most profitable tyned seeding system for improved cereal crop establishment on medium to heavy textured soils in the eastern wheatbelt. This will be achieved by establishing a trial site to assess a range of furrow closing options (4) and down force pressures (2) over two years to account for varying seasonal conditions. The results will be compared to standard practice of growers within the region. |
