CES00004 - Insecticide options for the management of Russian wheat aphid in…
The Russian wheat aphid (Diuraphis noxia, RWA) was first detected in the Mid North of South Australia in late May of 2016. RWA is an economically important pest of wheat, barley and other cereal grains. Unlike other cereal aphids that damage plants by removing nutrients, RWA also injects salivary toxins during feeding that cause rapid, systemic phytotoxic effects on plants, resulting in acute…Region: National

GRS11007 - Improving barley (Hordeum vulgare) yields under abiotic stress:…
It has been clearly demonstrated that some plant species, such as Arabidopsis and tobacco have improved growth and abiotic stress tolerance when a mitochondrial alternative respiratory pathway (AP) mediated by Alternative oxidase (AOX) is more active. This project aims to demonstrate whether there is a link between better growth and yield and more active AOX in in the important grain crop,…Region: National

UHS11007 - Dissecting chickpea diversity for improved nitrogen fixation
Chickpea nitrogen fixation converts atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia, a form of nitrogen that can be assimilated by the plant. This nitrogen resource permits enhanced productivity on nitrogen depleted soils and delivers soil nitrogen for follow-on crops. Maximising the efficiency of chickpea nitrogen fixation will enhance growth, productivity and contribute to improved long-term nitrogen…Region: National

GRS11004 - Overcoming soil constraints on crop productivity
Title: Investigations into the soil microbiology of subsoil manuring. This project is about boosting crop yields on hostile clay subsoils in the high rainfall zone of south-eastern Australia. This outcome is being achieved now with subsoil manuring - the practice of incorporating large volumes of organic amendment into dense (sodic) clay subsoil by deep ripping - which can improve the soil…Region: National
