  • GRDC Code: UOA1910-006BLX
    New agronomy levers for crop management: a concept study
    This project recognises the importance of advancing new management levers (other than sowing date and N) for growers to manage complex stresses. Timing of water stress influences yield, whilst frost and heat stress can further compromise yield and…

    Synchrotron Postdoctoral Fellow no. 2: Soil - nutrient availability mapping under field conditions using intact soil cores
    Depletion of phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) in soil sublayers is a significant issue for crop production. Decreased availability of P&K, and the variable effect of deep placement of P&K fertilisers, is likely due to transformation of P…

    Manipulation of stomata to increase yield potential in wheat (IWYP collaboration)
    Maximising grain yield requires a careful balance between photosynthesis, water use efficiency (WUE) and maintaining optimal leaf temperature for photosynthesis. Stomata are a key determinant in these processes as they regulate the balance of CO2…
