Summary
The project will provide an opportunity for an early career graduate to gain experience in applied research and extension across highly variable low rainfall farming environment. The project will create opportunities for industry connection through established regional and professional networks, ensuring that a full range of interest in regional agriculture RD&E can be explored. This project is a co-investment, with the SA Drought Hub providing $50,000 of the total funding.

Novel plant growth-promoting bacteria to increase wheat productivity and NUE (UAD2426)
This project will evaluate the performance, stability, and nitrogen-use efficiency benefits of the previously selected high-performing plant growth-promoting bacterial strains across cropping environments relevant to SA growers. It will translate the results towards...
Optimising a DGT to predict the risk of IMI herbicide residues (UAD0626)
Herbicide residues such as those of imidazolinones (IMI) products are of increasing concern to growers. However, predictive tests to assess the potential toxicity of herbicide residues to crops are not currently available. This project will establish and validate a...
