Research Projects
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.
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.
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.
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.
