GRDC Investments
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.

CSP00192 - Development of gene deployment strategies: using evolutionary principles to optimise the development of genetic resistance in…
Disease control in agriculture is very often ephemeral with resistance based on genetic approaches often showing little durability. A major source of this instability lies in the fact that host-pathogen systems are biotic interactions in which both…- Project start date:
