This project will evaluate the profitability and sustainability of cropping systems using lentils with the new metribuzin (MET) tolerance trait in combination with the imidazolinone (IMI) tolerance trait compared to those using the IMI trait alone. Lentil expansion areas of the SA southern Mallee and Eyre Peninsula will be the focus where problem weeds from historic farming systems and herbicide residues on coarse textured, low organic matter soils are constraints to production.

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...
