  • GRDC Code: UOS2204-005RTX
    NGN Mapping yield gap and yield variability in commercial pulse crops
    Growers are interested in making pulse crops a more significant part of on-farm sequences, however cash flow in the year of pulse production continues to act as a handbrake on greater representation of pulses in the crop sequences. Many of the…

    Mouse pathogen profiling – the role of disease in regulating population dynamics
    Wild mice display remarkable boom-and-bust population dynamics, where populations grow rapidly, resulting in extraordinary mouse plagues, and then suddenly crash, with the disappearance of mice virtually overnight. Current work (CSP1806-017RTX) to…

    Predicting nitrogen cycling and losses in Australian cropping systems - augmenting measurements to enhance modelling
    Fertiliser inputs represent about a third of the costs production for most grain producers, dominated by nitrogen (N) costing about $1.1 billion p.a. The proportion of fertiliser N recovered by the crop within the season it is applied is typically…

    GRS - (Maryam Barati) Improving phosphorus acquisition in grain crops using organic amendments
    The input costs of phosphorus (P) in crop production are substantial, with ~3.5 kg P exported in each tonne of wheat production. Furthermore, crops take up inorganic P sources with poor efficiency but there is some overseas evidence that grain crops …
