Novel bulk grain modelling, for contamination, using computer simulation (USA120)
Nov 29, 2022
Chaff and other contaminants can congregate at the edges of bulk grain shipments, compromising post-transport sampling. This study validated a computer simulation method for analysing and predicting the movement of grain and contaminants in bulk transport.
Improving fertiliser efficiency and reducing disease impacts using fluid delivery systems (S614)
Nov 29, 2022
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.
