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
Farmers on lower Eyre Peninsula (LEP) are starting to experience potassium deficiency, with a recent trial demonstrating potential large yield responses. This project will examine a range of PA tools and historical methods to help define where potassium is an issue, which soil types, how to detect it and possible responses across two different locations on LEP. This project is a co-investment, with GRDC providing 50% of the total funding.

Novel plant growth-promoting bacteria to increase wheat productivity and NUE (UAD2426)
This project will evaluate the performance, stability, and nitrogen-use efficiency benefits of the previously selected high-performing plant growth-promoting bacterial strains across cropping environments relevant to SA growers. It will translate the results towards...
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...
