'Equility' - Assessing Stallion Fertility in the Field: Extension and Adoption Activities

AgriFutures Australia

The relative fertility of Thoroughbred stallions is highly variability, ranging from 35% to 90%. Owing to the relatively short 4-month breeding season, and the 14-day delay between breeding and pregnancy diagnoses, breeders require a method to rapidly identify ejaculates that are unlikely to achieve a pregnancy. Stallion fertility is dependent...

Research project

Assessing the effects of application of plant hormones on percentage head emergence in oats.

AgriFutures Australia

This research proposal looks to assess the change in percentage of head emergence of oaten hay crops when plant hormones are applied. Poor head emergence of current oaten cultivars is proving to be a significant challenge to growers in marginal cropping regions. Incomplete head emergence increases both dry down time...

Dispelling value uncertainty for hay growers – application of high-throughput, low-cost phenomics to predict Oaten hay quality in-crop fields, while improving oat breeding selection efficiency.  logo
Research project

Dispelling value uncertainty for hay growers – application of high-throughput, low-cost phenomics to predict Oaten hay quality in-crop fields, while improving oat breeding selection efficiency.

AgriFutures Australia

Oaten hay quality is determined by the variety grown, management of the crop and environmental conditions, and then estimated once only upon delivery of hay to millers. Improvements in any of these areas will increase hay biomass and/or quality, which will lead to increased income, leading to benefits across the...

Testing and understanding herbicide resistance in weeds of importance in pasture seed production

AgriFutures Australia

Herbicide resistant weeds can be a major constraint to management of pasture seed production. There are increasing concerns with herbicide resistance in the pasture seed industry; however, the extent of herbicide resistance across the clover seed production industry is not known. Understanding the extent of herbicide resistance in key weed...

Increasing yield potential of Tasmanian white clover seed production crops

AgriFutures Australia

Tasmania is a major producer of certified white clover seed production crops. The climate and environmental conditions in Southern Australia are perfect for growing clover, with Tasmania's irrigation scheme and relative pest and disease-free status favoring the reliable production of pasture seed crops. There is potential to increase the growing...
