This project aims to assess the impacts of post-chlorpyrifos establishment pest management practices on pest pressure and beneficial invertebrate activity. The project will identify the most influential beneficial taxa and critical establishment periods where conservation of beneficials delivers the greatest pest suppression. Outcomes will be translated into practical, regionally relevant guidance to support SA growers. This project is a co-investment, with GRDC providing 50% 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...
