  • GRDC Code: DPI1901-002RTX
    Increasing the effectiveness of nitrogen fixation in pulses through improved rhizobial strains in the GRDC Northern region
    This investment aims to develop improved rhizobial strains and inoculation practices for chickpea, lentil and faba bean in acidic soils of the GRDC's Northern regions. The development of elite rhizobial strains is important in increasing pulse…

    Increasing the effectiveness of nitrogen fixation in pulses through improved rhizobial strains in the GRDC Western Region
    The adaptation of high value pulse crops (chickpea, lentil and faba bean) is restricted by the suitability of current rhizobial strains to soil and climatic conditions. This project, in collaboration with similar projects in the GRDC's Northern…

    Preserving Australia's Rhizobial Collections to Benefit the Australian Grain Industry
    The gene-bank collections of rhizobia strains in Australia have provided the cultures for development of commercial inoculant production and are a resource for the future improvement of the inoculants used for pulse and pasture legumes. Strains in…

    Increasing the effectiveness of nitrogen fixation in pulse crops through development of improved rhizobial strains, inoculation and crop…
    Expansion of the pulse industry is seeing crops increasingly sown on soils that are challenging to plant establishment and growth. In these areas, pulses are often grown in the paddock for the first time or, have been infrequently grown and are…

    DAN00202 New tools and germplasm for Australian pulse and oil seeds breeding programs to respond to changing virus threats
    Profitable pulse and oilseed rotation crops are a key component of Australia's crop based farming systems. Pulses and oilseeds are susceptible to a range of virus diseases and improving genetic resistance is the most economical and sustainable…
