  • GRDC Code: UOM2312-001RTX
    Improving physiological understanding and crop yield of early sown wheat genotypes under constrained environments
    Winter wheat varieties allow growers in southern Australia to start sowing earlier, which can help get more farm area sown on time and increases average farm yield. Winter wheat can also be grazed by livestock and harvested for grain without…

    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…

    WAARC: Innovative management approaches to maximise the use of legume crops in reducing the reliance on fertiliser N in WA cropping systems
    Supplying sufficient and timely N to cereal crops is central to maintaining high yield and grain protein concentration of cereals. Historically, much of the required N has come from biological N fixation (BNF) from pulses and pasture legumes in…

    Novel approach to determining temperature effects on wheat protein composition and quality attributes
    A hard finish due to drought and/or a hot finish to a wheat season alter post anthesis grain filling leading to lower seed set, smaller grain size and altered wheat seed content. This has immediate quality implications on screenings due to small…

    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…
