DAN00206 - Innovative approaches to managing subsoil acidity in the southern grain region

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

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 fertilisers, and by the regular removal of plant products, such as grain or hay. The...

CSA00050 - Northern Farming Systems - integrating research solutions for profitable outcome

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Data indicate that there is a significant gap between potential and current cropping system efficiency and profitability in the northern grains region. This project aims to provide growers and advisers information and tools to identify key limitations and evaluate the economic drivers of their cropping system. To do this, key...

DAQ00192 - Northern Farming Systems - integrating research solutions for profitable outcome

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Advances in agronomy and the performance of individual crops have helped growers to maintain their profitability. However, recent research suggests that only 30% of the crop sequences being used across the northern region are achieving at least 75% of their water limited yield potential. The Northern Farming Systems initiative will...

Post-doctoral Fellowship - Crop lower limit: Root water extraction responses to soil properties as key to variability in PAWC - aligned to CSP00210

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

This investment will provide research aimed at quantifying soil and crop effects on Crop Lower Limits (CLL - the amount of water remining in the soil after a crop has extracted all the water available to it) separately to inform new and more robust approaches to both measurement and prediction...

Research project

Post-Doctoral Fellowship - Predicting weed seed dynamics in farming systems aligned to CFF00011

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Understanding weed seed dynamics is an important aspect of integrated weed management programs. This investment will quantify the impact of crop sequences on weed seed bank dynamics, physiology and reproductive traits with a particular emphasis on Annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum Gaud). This information will be used to examine the predictability...

Boosting profit and reducing risk on mixed farms in low and medium rainfall areas with newly discovered legume pastures enabled by innovative management methods - western region (Dryland pasture legume systems).

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Growers have shifted their focus from livestock to crops over the last 30 years, however continuously cropped paddocks are not sustainable and come with high risk, especially in dry areas where wheat cultivation dominates. Intensive cropping is susceptible to herbicide resistant weeds, requires large nitrogen fertiliser inputs, and there are...

Increasing the effectiveness of nitrogen fixation in pulses through improved rhizobial strains in the GRDC western region

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

The adaptation of high value pulse crops (chickpea, lentil and faba bean) is restricted by the suitability of current rhizobial strains to soil and climatic conditions. This project, in collaboration with similar projects in the GRDC's Northern and southern regions, will evaluate a range of elite rhizobial strains for high...
