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.

GRDC Code: UMU1506-001RTX
UMU00048 - Genetic approaches to reduce the nitrogen dilution effect and increase nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) in wheat in wheat
The nitrogen dilution effect refers to the observation that high wheat yields are often associated with low grain protein content (GPC). As grain protein is a key determinant of price, growers seek to maintain both high yield and high GPC.This…- Project start date:

UQ00078 - Deep placement of nutrients
Extensive research has focussed on demonstrating the quantum of crop responses with different crop species at different nutrient addition rates in soils with varying subsoil phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) status. In contrast, little research has…- Project start date:

DAW00252 - Innovative approaches to managing subsoil acidity in the Western Region
Soil acidity is one of the few soil constraints to agriculture for which there is a profitable solution. However, treatment and management of subsurface acidity requires a more direct and aggressive approach than surface or topsoil acidity. This…- Project start date:

UMU00046 Improved Adaption of Barley to Acid Soils
Soil acidity with high levels of toxic aluminium is the largest (in area) soil constraint limiting sustainable barley production in Australia. Tolerant barley varieties are available but some of the more tolerant genotypes are associated with a blue …- Project start date:

DAN00206 - Innovative approaches to managing subsoil acidity in the southern grain region
Subsoil acidity is a major constraint to crop productivity in the high rainfall zone (500-800 mm) of south-eastern Australia. Soil acidification is accelerated by nitrate leaching under certain crop rotations, by the use of ammonium-based…- Project start date:
