  NGN - Understanding herbicide residues on challenging soil types within the southern region

  National Grower Network forums throughout South Australia have identified that herbicide residues are a concern for growers. From work conducted by Rose et al., (2022), it is estimated that between 20-30% of paddocks across Australia contain…

  GRS 2025 - Optimisation of inclusion plate geometry in vertosol soil (Thusalini Asharp)

  The findings of this research have the potential to greatly enhance soil productivity and crop yields in regions with vertosol soils. While the Discrete Element Method (DEM) has been used in many GRDC projects to model and evaluate soil-engaging…

  NGN Improving crop phosphorus supply on highly calcareous soils using novel sources

  National Grower Network forums on the Upper and Far West Eyre Peninsula (EP) have identified phosphorus (P) management on their highly calcareous soils as a key challenge for their farming system. Traditional P strategies are considered ineffective…

  NGN Extension activities to support tactical grower and adviser responses to frost events in the Southern Region

  Across the southern region spring frosts regularly damage crops which are especially sensitive at flowering stages, and these are estimated to cost grain growers $360 million in direct and indirect losses every year on average. The 2024 season was…

  Addressing emerging nutrient limitations in the Australian grains industry for improved fertiliser management of potassium (K)

  Australia has a negative K balance of 400kt per year with approximately three times more K removed from the system than applied across agricultural areas. The continuous negative K balance through consecutive time periods has increased the area of…

  MCR Fellowship: Modulating nodulation and nitrogen fixation for yield benefits in chickpea

  Chickpea production globally can be enhanced by optimising the nitrogen gained from symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF). Many factors contribute to the effectiveness of SNF, including the number of root nodules where nitrogen fixation takes place.…
