Cereal Aphid Risk Assessment for South Australia (CARASA) (S1117)
Time of sowing trials combined with aphid monitoring to establish aphid risk patterns.
Further development of crown rot resistance in durums (S517)
Developing crown rot resistance into well-adapted, high yielding durums with good quality characteristics.
Drivers of Flowering Time in Durum (S518)
Research aimed to identify the optimal sowing and flowering times of durum in SA.
Growing durum demand in SA: gross margin sensitivity analysis trials (UA415)
Comparing the yields, prices and gross margins of durums and bread wheats at different trial sites over a three-year period.
Genetic characterisation and exploitation of heat stress tolerant durum germplasm (UA1415)
The SAGIT-AGT heat stress chamber was used to study the heat stress tolerance of 31 durum breeding lines, along with commercial durum varieties and bread wheats for comparison.
The trial identified suitable parents for future breeding, which may lead to the development of new heat tolerant durum varieties 8-10 years from now.
Crown rot resistance in durums (S514)
Crown rot resistance has been sought from a wild related species and bread wheats to gain useful levels of resistance. Multiple crosses have been made to adapted durums to ensure good yield potential.
A new approach to grass weed control for durum wheat (DG1202)
This project aimed to develop a new and integrated approach to improve grass weed control in durum wheat.
