Investments
Welcome to our investments. We invest in Research, Development and Extension (RD&E) to create enduring profitability for Australian grain growers.
Here you will find active investments, and investments completed after 1 January 2020 from our RD&E portfolio. Some investments will display related communication and extension activities, and other associated outputs.
Please let us know what you think as we welcome any feedback.

Post-Doctoral Fellowship - Improving root growth in dispersive soils
The Australian grains belt has large areas of sodic soils, which in nature are dispersive and often associated with dense subsoils with high soil strength that can restrict root penetration and uptake of water and nutrient, with consequent…- Project start date:

Better sorghum: larger grain with more protein
Feed grains are utilised primarily as a source of energy, with most of the energy from starch, with the protein component usually considered of secondary importance. However, protein needs to be supplemented from crops such as soybean or lupin, and…- Project start date:

Australian Cereal Rust Control Program (ACRCP) - University of Sydney: Delivering genetic tools and knowledge required to breed wheat and…
Wheat and barley rusts have the potential to cause significant production losses in Australia. Although fungicides control rusts, they do not provide complete control in highly susceptible cultivars. Genetic resistance therefore remains the…- Project start date:

Australian Cereal Rust Control Program -Wheat and barley breeding support
Cereal rust diseases can cause significant yield losses. Genetic resistance in commercial varieties is an important part of the management of rusts in Australia. New rust pathotypes frequently occur in Australia, and can impact the expected…- Project start date:

Canola pre-breeding investment to continue some activities conducted under DAN00208
Under DAN00117 and DAN00208, NSW DPI has identified pod shatter resistant accessions of Brassica rapa (2n = 2x) and Brassica carinata (2n = 4x). Research on combining resistance from both sources was initiated under DAN00208 for two years (2015-17). …- Project start date:
