Improving fertiliser efficiency and reducing disease impacts using fluid delivery systems (S614)
Applying fertiliser, fungicides or micronutrients in granular or spray form at blanket rates may not achieve optimal results for different crops or locations. Variable-rate fluid delivery systems for fertiliser, micronutrients and fungicides were trialled on the Eyre Peninsula on wheat and canola to assess yield and economic outcomes.
Long term cropping systems trial: effect on soil biology and nitrogen mineralisation (H116)
Improved capture of native soil nitrogen and urea fertiliser in wheat (CSI118)
Research to better understand the relationship between genetics, soil microbiology, N-use and yields.
Phenotypic evaluation of a wheat RIL population for salinity tolerance (UA418)
Breeding salt tolerant grains will help improve the resilience of South Australian grain harvests.
Field testing of sodicity- and salinity-tolerant oat varieties (UA617)
These trials identified commercially available oat varieties tolerant to saline-sodic soil conditions.
Soil water and temperature thresholds for early wheat establishment (CSI219)
Improving climate resilience and creating a longer sowing window through early sowing of long-coleoptile wheat varieties.
Investigating the accuracy of plant traits measured using drones (UA318)
Assesses the ability of drones with RGB cameras to gather accurate data on crop growth.
Use of drones to non-destructively assess wheat varieties (UA217)
Less destructive and labour-intensive methods are needed to gather data on crops in large scale field trials.
