This study investigates the impact of native revegetation on suppressing conical snail populations on the Yorke Peninsula. The establishment of revegetation strips adjacent to grain cropping paddocks and near silos can enhance the survival of a beneficial parasitoid fly by providing essential floral food resources and refugia, boosting parasitism rates and suppression of pest conical snails.

On-row sowing benefits on Yorke Peninsula– what are the drivers? (CAS4822)
Nov 22, 2023 | Current Projects
This project aims to understand improved early crop vigour from on or near row sowing. Two trials will demonstrate yield benefits from on or near row sowing of previous crop stubble lines under different phosphorus management programs.
Are crop yields limited by iron deficiency on calcareous soils of the Yorke Peninsula? (ACR3923)
Nov 9, 2023 | Current Projects
Advancements in iron iron deficiency formulations have delivered significant yield gains on calcareous soil types in the South East of South Australia and this provides an opportunity to investigate the degree of iron deficiency in other regions where these soil types are prevalent such as the Mid North and Yorke Peninsula.
