    Increasing the profitability of the double break rotation in the medium rainfall zone of WA Wheatbelt through incorporation of an early…
    In the past, one of the reasons for delaying the seeding of pulse crops has been due to the need for a double knock to reduce weed competition from staggered weed germination, however, the delayed sowing of pulses can result in lower yields (Larn et …

    Machine learning to extract maximum value from soil and crop variability
    The yields of major crops in Australia are often below their water-limited potential. A reason for this is the complexity of Genotype x Environment x Management (GxExM) interaction, which results in crop growth with high variability. This project…
