Tested inoculant group, formulation, rate and timing under dry sowing conditions.
MacKillop Farm Management Group Annual Trial Results book (MFM118)
Providing growers with accurate and timely information to make informed decisions.
Efficiency of Fertiliser N products on calcareous and sandy soil types (AS317)
Assessing different nitrogen fertiliser products in delivering plant available N to wheat on calcareous and lighter soils.
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.
Regional Internships in Applied Grains Research (H115)
This annual internship offers a year’s training in applied grains RD&E with the Hart Field-Site Group.

The annual SANTFA conference provides extension on conservation farming topics to South Australian growers.
Making Science Useful to Agriculture (S1218)
A workshop was held to outline propositions for improved focus on Agriculture research and development investment and to demonstrate the impact of science and technology with emphasis on genetic improvement and agronomy.
Australasian Soilborne Disease Symposium 2018 in Adelaide (APP118)
The Australasian Soilborne Disease Symposium provides up-to-date information and a place to interact for researchers and growers.
Development of Wheat Population using Speed Breeding for Salinity Tolerance (UA518)
Dr Allison Pearson travelled to the 2018 ‘Salt and Water Stress In Plants” Gordon Research Seminar and Conference in New Hampshire, USA to present her research and take part in conference activities.
On-farm optimisation of oat grain production and marketing (MFM318G)
Holding an oat field day and property visit to facilitate industry discussion about relevant issues in regards to oats. Viewing the MFMG milling oat variety management trial.
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.
Adopting Profitable Crop Sequences in the South Australian Mallee (MSF115)
Broadleaf break crop performance was assessed over three years and across four soil types in the northern Mallee region of South Australia.

Identifying the causes of unreliable N fixation by medic-based pastures (SARDI1515)
Investigating whether common herbicides used for weed control in medic-based pastures contribute to the uncertain nitrogen fixation from pastures on the Upper Eyre Peninsula.
Improving weed control in new herbicide tolerant lentils (S316)
Evaluating the control of key difficult-to-control weed species in South Australian lentil production by using novel metribuzin applications, alternative timings and mixtures with other herbicides.
