Summary
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 micronutrients, alternative sources such as chicken litter and fertiliser placement and toxicity risk with the aim to improve productivity and farm profitability.

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...
