Optimising mungbean yield in the northern region - Mungbean Physiology
As mungbean increases in popularity grower confidence in mungbeans is limited by high levels of yield variability in the paddock. In addition, understanding the drivers of this variability is currently limited by poor understanding of the crop…- Project start date:

Post-doctoral Fellowship - Managing soil constraints with On-Row Seeding Systems for the Low Rainfall Zone
Previous research has shown that repeated sowing of crops on the same row can enhance the micro-environment in which crops germinate, establish, and grow. While showing promise to addressing a range of soil constraints, a number of key scientific…- Project start date:
