  • GRDC Code: PHE2210-001RTX
    Novel HTP phenomics tech to assess yield components in canola: Feasibility study
    Yield potential in water-limited environments is a function of crop transpiration, transpiration efficiency, and harvest index. Harvest index, the ratio of biomass to harvested grain, is low in canola compared to cereal crops, a gap which widens in…

    NGN - Demonstration of summer fallow weed management strategies to reduce input costs in soils of the Narromine 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…

    Accelerating the development of tools using satellite imagery and environmental data to identify optimum canola windrow timing
    Windrowing canola has several advantages over direct heading. However, there is a narrow timeframe to windrow to ensure maximum yield and profit. That window can be difficult to determine at scale across multiple paddocks. If growers can access…
