This project will build capacity in the Eyre Peninsula grains industry by employing a recent graduate as a 12-month applied research and extension intern in 2027, hosted by EPAG Research. The intern will develop practical skills in trial design, agronomy, data analysis and grower-focused extension while delivering a regionally relevant research project. By strengthening the pipeline of skilled early-career researchers, the project will support ongoing innovation and locally driven grains RD&E. This project is a co-investment, with the SA Drought Hub providing $50,000 of the total funding.

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...
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...
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...
