CSA00056 - Developing farming systems for the LRZ of Western Australia

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

This project will research novel agronomy and soil water management practices to deliver increased profitability and reduced risk for farming systems in the low rainfall zone (LRZ) of Western Australia. This region is characterised by low and variable growing season rainfall and consequently the effective management of soil water is...

DAW00227 - Tactical break crop agronomy in Western Australia

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

The grain growing region of south-west WA is dominated by wheat and barley production. This investment will explore the management of break crop options with a focus on canola agronomy such as density, nitrogen rate and timing, seed system (OP vs. hybrids), and herbicide system choice. The project will adopt...

Post-doctoral Fellowship - Managing soil constraints with On-Row Seeding Systems for the Low Rainfall Zone

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Previous research has shown that repeated sowing of crops on the same row can enhance the micro-environment in which crops germinate, establish, and grow. While showing promise to addressing a range of soil constraints, a number of key scientific questions remain unanswered with respect to the viability and impact of...

Expanding the sowing window for canola and lupins - what works in WA?

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Canola and lupins are the two major break crops grown in Western Australia, comprising 1.5 million hectares. However, growers need more confidence in opportunities to capture March and early April seeding opportunities. This includes developing better methods for managing early sown crops, which could transform how canola and lupins are...

High Value Pulses - Raising awareness, optimising yield and expanding the area of lentil, chickpea and faba bean in Western Australia

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Pulses are an important part of many productive, profitable and sustainable farming systems in Australia. Historically in the western region, the main pulse has been lupin but more recently, lupin production has declined due to low prices and lack of adequate weed control options. New pulse options (chickpeas, lentil, faba...
