Improving the understanding and the effectiveness of N fixation in pulses in Australia
Legume crops play a key role in Australian farming systems, providing on average 30kg N/ha extra for subsequent crops (ranging from 7 to 60 Kg N/ha). A review on rhizobia research by GRDC in Australia (Herridge 2021) estimated that about 80% of…- Project start date:

NGN - Demonstration of summer fallow weed management strategies to reduce input costs in soils of the Wentworth region
Summer fallow weeds cause large grain yield reductions in the following winter crop as they deplete soil water and nitrogen in the fallow phase, therefore limiting availability to crops. Additionally, fallow weeds can act as a 'green…- Project start date:
