Post-doctoral Fellowship: Alternative phenotyping for reproductive stage frost tolerance using metabolite markers and identification of frost tolerance QTL in wheat - aligned to CSP00202

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Frost and other cold events are major causes of yield loss in a number of Australian cropping systems. Management options are heavily reliant on the development of tolerant varieties however phenotyping wheat germplasm for chilling and frost tolerance under field conditions is notoriously difficult because of the unpredictability, variability and...

Post Doctoral Fellowship -Maximising crops and minimising weeds with smart phase farming

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

The overall objective of this Post-Doctoral Fellowship is to reduce the adverse impact of weeds on grain yield as well as their associated control costs through the use and appropriate management of annual pasture phases. On many Australian farms, profitability and durability would greatly benefit from phase farming, in which...

Virtual fencing for better crop integrated weed management

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Livestock can be a key Integrated Weed Management (IWM) tool in cropping systems through grazing in the summer fallow, the pasture phase, in dual purpose crops, by spray grazing and potentially for in-crop weed management. Grazing weakens the plant and in some cases flowers and seeds can be actively consumed....

Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative - Phase 6

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

The evolution of herbicide resistance in agricultural weeds is a major concern to the productivity of Australian cropping systems. This project supports developing better weed management strategies to mitigate and manage herbicide resistant weeds through advancement in the understanding of herbicide resistance in key Australian grain cropping weeds at the...

UA00156 - Emerging weeds (Seed-bank biology of emerging weeds)

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Changes in farming systems, weed management practices and climate have contributed to the change in weed flora on Australian farms. Much of the Australian research on weed seed biology was undertaken prior to the intensification of cropping and before the introduction of no-till systems. It is likely that the biology...

UA00158 - Mechanisms, evolution and inheritance of resistance

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Herbicide resistance in weeds is a major threat to cost-effective grain production. Understanding the factors that contribute to herbicide resistance is important in developing strategies to delay the onset of resistance. This project will develop new information on the evolution, inheritance and mechanism of herbicide resistance with a particular focus...

UCS00024 - Surveillance of herbicide resistant weeds in Australian grain cropping

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Herbicide resistance in weeds is a major problem in farming systems of the GRDC's Southern and western regions and is increasing in the northern region. Understanding the threat and extent of resistance present at a district level can encourage growers to take timely action to reduce the impact of resistance....

RDP00015 - Grain Weeds Advisory Committee

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

The Grain Weeds Advisory Committee will work to provide integrated weed management strategies for the major crop-weed threats to Australian grain production. In addition, it will also provide strategic weed investment advice and recommendations to the GRDC. This project will result in grain growers implementing weed control plans, using a...

DAW00257 - Locally Important Weeds

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

This project aims to undertake research to quantify the biology and ecology of eight locally important weed species, four in GRDC's western region and four in the southern region. The weed species will be selected following a consultation process with the Regional Cropping Solutions Network (RCSN) and major grower groups...

US00084 - Innovative crop weed control for northern region cropping systems

Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC)

Herbicide resistant weeds have major impact on grower profitability. In the northern cropping zone, problematic weeds of significance include annual ryegrass, wild oat, sow thistle, African turnip weed, wild mustard and fleabane (in winter cropping) and barnyard grass, Feathertop Rhodes grass, fleabane, liverseed grass and windmill grass (in summer cropping...
