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
This project seeks to quantify crop yield, grain quality, and Nitrogen Use Efficiency differences between Nitrogen (N) fertiliser forms, application strategies and Enhanced Efficiency Fertilisers (EEF) relative to conventional urea in wheat and canola. Researchers will measure volatilisation losses and estimate total N losses where feasible, evaluate economic performance of N strategies, and deliver regional guidelines identifying where EEFs provide consistent agronomic and economic benefit to Fleurieu Peninsula and Murraylands growers.

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...
