GRDC Grains Research Update, online – Capitalising on great seasons; root architecture and a new tool to estimate soil water

Past online event

Summary

The program from the February/March 2022 GRDC Grains Research Updates has moved online. While we and many participants lament not being able to run these events face to face, this is a fantastic opportunity for you to cherry pick  topics of interest to you not only from your area, but from the broader northern region.

Topics for this webinar:

• What are the ideal roots for wheat? How different architectures affect yield in different environments. Exploratory research as part of an international program of projects in the IWYP (International Wheat Yield Partnership). (Lee Hickey, University of Queensland)
• A sub-paddock tool (Soil Water Nowcasting) to estimate PAW at depth across the paddock by incorporating different data layers. (Tom Bishop, University of Sydney)
• Capitalising on great seasons when they occur - is that the most profitable strategy and where is balance point for risk and reward?  What do more profitable growers do? (Simon Fritsch, Agripath)

Update Papers

• Can we improve the roots of durum wheat to maximise yield?
• A sub-paddock tool (Soil Water Nowcasting) to estimate PAW at depth across the paddock by incorporating different data layers
