Summary

Field research projects on the management of soilborne diseases and rhizobia are severely constrained by the limitations of current research seeders. The development of a specialised research seeder will enable SA researchers to undertake world leading research to develop innovative practices to manage soil biological constraints in broadacre crops. This project is for Stage 1 of a three-stage process to 1. review, 2. design and 3. build a state-of-art research seeder.

Following the dissolution of the South Australian No Till Farmers Association, remaining funds were distributed to SAGIT to continue with research and development for South Australian growers. This project (SAR3424) will be funded by SANTFA legacy funding.
