High Rainfall Zone Canola Variable Rate Nitrogen (VRN) Project (ELD118)
Investigating the accuracy of NDVI and NDRE in detecting canola response to nitrogen to create a variable rate map.
Upper North: Time of Sowing and Yield Loss from Frost/Heat Stress (UNF116)
The Upper North Agricultural Region of SA is frequently affected by hot dry springs, significant frost events and unreliable opening rains. Identifying the window of least risk for sowing and increasing the knowledge of the farmers to different wheat phenology will increase profitability and enable management through seasonal variation.
Pulse management for low rainfall farming systems (EP117G)
Maximising productivity and managing risk through robust characterisation of variety specific response to agronomic practices (AGT0113)
A range of agronomic practices were studied to determine general and variety specific responses between 2013 and 2015.
Manipulating seed nutrient content to improve vigour and yield in wheat (UA1203)
Field trials were designed to assess the impact of different grain sizes and nutrient contents on growth and grain yield of wheat.
Evaluating clethodim tolerance in canola (S0713)
This research has shown that clethodim can severely impact the growth, development and grain yield of canola. These effects are amplified with increasing herbicide rates and applications at later canola growth stages. Not all canola varieties are affected to the same degree.
