Integrating long coleoptile wheat into Australian farming systems through an integrated understanding of genetics, management and environment.
Small scale field research in WA and Qld, along with industry intelligence has identified knowledge gaps permitting the successful integration of LCW into Australian farming systems. A dedicated holistic research effort across contrasting production environments, soils and farming systems will lead to productivity gains and increased adoption of LCW genotypes at the time of their release.
The driving focus of this investment is to work collaboratively, build on current work within this area and collaborate for the benefit of grain growers and industry as a whole.
