The goal of this project is to develop next-generation rhizobial inoculation systems for lentils by integrating advanced seed-coating technologies with climate-adapted plant growth-promoting bacteria. The project aims to deliver pre-inoculated, ready-to-sow lentil...

Summary
This project will conduct two adjuvant spray experiments, one in the northern Mallee (Waikerie or Loxton) and one in the southern Mallee (Lameroo) to test a range of commercial adjuvant products in combination with standard grower herbicide mixes, targeting common summer weeds. The aim is to determine optimal mixes for the uniquely dry and hot Mallee environment and to evaluate the efficacy and cost of common herbicide + adjuvant combination for control of weeds such as Gazania, Feathertop Rhodes grass and Fleabane.

Optimising a DGT to predict the risk of IMI herbicide residues (UAD0626)
Herbicide residues such as those of imidazolinones (IMI) products are of increasing concern to growers. However, predictive tests to assess the potential toxicity of herbicide residues to crops are not currently available. This project will establish and validate a...
