This project will build capacity by supporting a University of Adelaide PhD project investigating the genetic diversity and invasion origins of exotic snail lineages infesting Australian grains crops. The project is critical to inform the on-farm management of major pest snails, while simultaneously developing long term capacity for the grains industry, based in SA, in the genetics, diagnostics, ecology and management of exotic pest snails.

This project will establish a research and extension hub on the Southern Yorke Peninsula to deliver field-based research that improves nutrient management decisions for growers on highly calcareous soils. It will evaluate nutrient strategies, including key macro and...
The South Australian Sowing Guide is a critical decision-support tool for growers, providing independent information on variety performance, agronomic fit and disease resistance. This SAGIT project aims to strengthen disease resistance information in the SA Sowing...
This project aims to assess the impacts of post-chlorpyrifos establishment pest management practices on pest pressure and beneficial invertebrate activity. The project will identify the most influential beneficial taxa and critical establishment periods where...
