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.

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…- Project start date:

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…- Project start date:
