UB00002 - Online Libraries for the GRDC Website (Digitisation of GRDC documents …
This project focused on the digitisation of GRDC documents for online publication. The GRDC recognises the importance of improving accessibility to technical information generated via GRDC investment and also the knowledge benefits which will be unlocked once paper-based research information has been converted to a format suitable for consumption via the GRDC website and intranet.Region: South

DAN00075 - Statistical analysis and data mining for the Premium Grains for…
The Premium Grains for Livestock Program (PGLP) was established after consultation between the grains and livestock industries to establish a more rational basis for trading grains for livestock. Current methods for pricing feed grains do not properly reflect the ability of grains to provide energy to animals. The project showed that the energy value of a grain sample varied widely between grain…Region: North

DAN443 - Pathology support for winter pulse improvement in the GRDC Northern…
This project (DAN443) addressed a major issue in grain production in the GRDC Northern Region - the lack of disease resistance in winter grown pulse crops. This lack of resistance was a particular concern for the northern region where there were uniquely damaging diseases (viruses, chickpea phytophthoraand faba bean rust) in addition to those found in other regions (ascochyta and botrytis foliar…Region: North

BBM00001 - Pilot Brewing Evaluation for malting barley lines destined for export
Australian malting barley varieties fall into two categories, both of which are important and both of which carry different inherent quality and genetic characteristics. These categories are 'export brewing style' malting barleys and 'domestic brewing style' barleys. Export brewing style barley needs to be 'hotter' than domestic brewing style barley and it is difficult to measure and test the…Region: National

DAW342 - Physiological Approaches to Plant Breeding
Project DAW342 ('Senior Cereal Scientist') was originally the brainchild of senior staff (M. Poole, P. Portmann and R. Belford) at the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia (DAWA) who saw the need for enhancing the capacity of the Crop Breeding Group through incorporation of new approaches to germplasm improvement. Strategies to enhance capacities were identified through the development of …Region: West

DAW00203 - Characterising water deficit and benchmarking genetic diversity for…
This project characterised wheat varieties for adaptive physiological and agronomic traits required in water limited or drought-prone environments in the first year of the national Managed Environment Facilities (MEF) trials. This is the final report for the first season’s work, however this research is ongoing in the project "Characterising water deficit and benchmarking…Region: West

DAV00140 - Evaluating the impact of the Soil Biology Initiative-II (2009-2014)
The GRDC Soil Biology Initiative-II (SBI-II) comprises 18 projects in three themed areas (soil quality monitoring, nutrient management and disease suppressive soils). Evidence generated from SBI-II projects against agreed outcomes were assessed using the monitoring, evaluation, reporting and improvement (MERI) framework (SBI-II 2009-2014 'Harnessing the Biological Potential of Our Soils' Alice…Region: South

UA00093 - Biochemical and genetic solutions to grain defects elimination and…
The project has coordinated a broad range of research aimed at the elimination of grain defects such as pre-harvest sprouting, late maturity alpha-amylase and black point; improvement of colour and colour stability for Asian noodles; as well as investigating novel ways of improving the application and nutritional value of Australian wheat. Improved germplasm and screening technologies together…Region: South

UQ00040 - Support for ICIS for Australian grain breeding and CIMMYT germplasm…
This project formed part of a larger set of projects, known as the The International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT) Suite of Projects. Under this suite of projects, UQ00040 was responsible for the collation, storage and dissemination of data and other information related to the introduction and testing of CIMMYT bread wheat germplasm in Australia. All data was made available…Region: National

SDI00005 - Understanding soil and water relationships for optimising crop…
The past decade has seen farm businesses under pressure from variable seasons and markets and rising input costs. Yield Prophet ® (YP) is a commercial web based program developed by CSIRO and the BCG with input from the Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia (DAFWA), to provide subscribers with information that will assist in seasonal decision making. It has been well…Region: West
