    Capitalising on pulse protein food and feed opportunities domestically and internationally
    Australia produced on average 2.8 million tons of pulse crops between 2017-2022 most of which are exported as bulk commodities. There has been growing interest in the utilisation of plant-derived proteins (PDP's) as functional ingredients in…

    Improving the understanding and the effectiveness of N fixation in pulses in Australia
    Legume crops play a key role in Australian farming systems, providing on average 30kg N/ha extra for subsequent crops (ranging from 7 to 60 Kg N/ha). A review on rhizobia research by GRDC in Australia (Herridge 2021) estimated that about 80% of…

    WAARC: Innovative management approaches to maximise the use of legume crops in reducing the reliance on fertiliser N in WA cropping systems
    Supplying sufficient and timely N to cereal crops is central to maintaining high yield and grain protein concentration of cereals. Historically, much of the required N has come from biological N fixation (BNF) from pulses and pasture legumes in…

    Novel approach to determining temperature effects on wheat protein composition and quality attributes
    A hard finish due to drought and/or a hot finish to a wheat season alter post anthesis grain filling leading to lower seed set, smaller grain size and altered wheat seed content. This has immediate quality implications on screenings due to small…
