Eyre Peninsula internship in applied grains research 2024 (AEP3423)
Nov 21, 2023 | Current Projects
This project aims to improve the capacity of grains research, development and extension on the Eyre Peninsula and to further develop applied research skills of recent graduates so they will make an improved contribution to the grains RD&E industry in SA, through the appointment of interns within local research organisations.
Developing a new high value noodle market for South Australian growers (AEG4022)
Nov 9, 2023 | Current Projects
This project aims to establish a new high-value noodle wheat market for South Australia, increasing demand in Taiwan, South Korea and Hong Kong, estimated at $95 million annually for SA wheat. It will position a segment of the Australian Hard (AH) class as a premium noodle grade in Asia, creating additional value for selected hard wheat varieties grown in SA at AH protein levels.
Are crop yields limited by iron deficiency on calcareous soils of the Yorke Peninsula? (ACR3923)
Nov 9, 2023 | Current Projects
Advancements in iron iron deficiency formulations have delivered significant yield gains on calcareous soil types in the South East of South Australia and this provides an opportunity to investigate the degree of iron deficiency in other regions where these soil types are prevalent such as the Mid North and Yorke Peninsula.
Evaluation of agronomic practices for SHO safflower production (AAC0723)
Nov 9, 2023 | Current Projects
Super high oleic oil content safflower is a new crop to SA. This project will investigate variety, sowing time, water use efficiency, herbicide tolerance, nutrient responsiveness, phenology, residual soil water and canopy manipulation to determine where the crop can be profitably grown.
