Improving wheat yields on sodic, magnesic, and dispersive soils
This project involving a collaboration between research organisations across Australia aims to develop strains of wheat with improved tolerance to a number of stresses associated with sodic soils. It will develop a network of national trials to evaluate performance of different varieties of wheat on sodic soils. A crossing and screening program among the superior lines identified will then be conducted to combine the desirable traits into elite lines. The project will also develop genetic tools to help wheat breeders select for tolerance to sodic soils.
