Better sorghum: larger grain with more protein
Feed grains are utilised primarily as a source of energy, with most of the energy from starch, with the protein component usually considered of secondary importance. However, protein needs to be supplemented from crops such as soybean or lupin, and…- Project start date:

Improved sampling methods to better predict nutrient availability and supply for soils in the Western region
With the widescale uptake of minimum tillage, controlled traffic and precision farming techniques across Western Australia's grainbelt, new sampling guidelines are required to better measure nutrient availability in the soil. Current soil…- Project start date:
