SYP00005 - Development of best farming systems for medium rainfall alkaline soils
This project has underpinned a significant shift in the approach to cereal, pulse and canola production across the cropping areas of South Australia. Growers have changed their approach from a "recipe - high input" farming practice to a more tactile risk management approach with the skills gained from principles demonstrated throughout the project. Adoption of outcomes has exceeded expectations…Region: South

DAS00125 - Fungicide control of Rhizoctonia Part A
This project studied liquid streaming fungicides to reduce yield losses caused by rhizoctonia in cereals and informed projects DAS00122 and DAS00123, both of which were funded to fast track label registrations to liquid stream EverGol Prime ®# and Uniform ®# . Dual streaming Uniform ® on the soil surface and 3cm to 4cm below the seed was the best treatment and its yield responses were …Region: South

DAV454 - Management strategies for the use of foliar fungicides
This project was established as a result of increased use of foliar fungicides in cereals, following reduced fungicide costs and more disease pressure. The project aimed to address the lack of information to support this increase of fungicide use and make it available to industry. This project showed that resistant varieties can effectively control foliar diseases and that in most trials, foliar…Region: South

CSP00128 - Maximizing crop yield in the HRZ of WA through efficient use of water …
In recent years, the area of crop production in regions of Western Australia (WA) with annual rainfall of between 450 and 700mm has expanded rapidly. The potential yield in this region for wheat is about 6t/ha, but actual yields are about half this value. A similar ratio applies for canola, field peas and other crops. In this project, there was collaboration with…Region: West

CHC24 - An investigation into the hydrogeological transport of atrazine in…
Project results demonstrate that atrazine # , simazine # and metolachlor # can be safely used to control broadleaf weeds in canola production without significant contamination of surface and ground waters. Australian Drinking Water Guidelines for these herbicides are unlikely to be exceeded, provided label recommendations are followed. Practical guidelines for the use of atrazine are outlined in…Region: West

CSP320 - Improved management of crops growing on difficult subsoils
This project showed three ways to increase profit from growing cereals in semi-arid regions where subsoils contain high levels of boron, salt and sodicity. One is to apply nitrogen (N) fertiliser in subsurface bands or to topdress mid-season, rather than the current method of pre-drilling. These methods retard vegetative growth and conserve water for grain filling. The…Region: South

SFX00002 - Support for SIP09 initiative and testing of stability zones and…
The delivery to GRDC of a disc of the full SIP09 project core sites database, systematically collated and readily accessible. The commissioning of this project was an industry-leading step by GRDC and should supply a good data set for modellers and researchers to use to prove-up hypotheses. It will take other researchers time to adapt to not always having to acquire their own data set where some…Region: West

CSA00037 - Reassessing the value and use of fixed nitrogen
The aim of this project was to communicate to growers the value of fixed nitrogen (N) from legume crops and pastures in modern farming systems. The research developed an economic tool to value fixed N. The key outcome was to enhance grower and adviser awareness about how to appropriately value legume crops and pastures in the context of a two-year rotation with a cereal crop. Analyses were…Region: National

DAW00014 - Development of new methodologies to treat subsurface acidity -…
Subsurface acidity occurring at 10 - 40 cm in sandplain soils of Western Australia (WA) restricts plant growth and yield. This is primarily through the toxic effects of aluminium reducing root growth and subsequent access to water and nutrients. This project was able to deep place lime and achieved significant yield responses by direct treatment of subsurface acidity. However, the process was not …Region: West
