Hyper Profitable Crops - cereal paddock benchmarking and innovation groups
In the high rainfall zones of Australia, there are significant gaps between the crop yields produced in commercial paddocks and the water-limited yield potential. A considerable amount of RD&E has been conducted in the high rainfall zones (e.g.…- Project start date:

Expediting the delivery to industry of a novel method of eliminating Late Maturity alpha-amylase in wheat
Wheat growers face quality and pricing challenges due to Late Maturity -Amylase (LMA) and Pre-harvest Sprouting (PHS), caused by the enzyme Wheat alpha-amylase type one (TaAMY1). This enzyme's stochastic accumulation during grain development can …- Project start date:
