CWQ00015 - CIMMYT Suite of Projects: Communication Project
The purpose of project CWQ00015 was to respond to issues raised in the de Majnik report 2005 (Case for the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) germplasmaccess and incorporation into Australian breeding programs) by coordinating communication in the suite of projects for cohesive introduction of CIMMYT germplasm to Australia. This involved quarantine, germplasm and synthetic…Region: National

RPS00002 - Quantifying impacts of management on sediment, nutrient and pesticide …
GRDC sought to better understand its environmental credentials with particular reference to water quality. This project applied water balance simulation to describe the role of management on runoff, sediment, nutrient and pesticides leaving grain paddocks. A pragmatic process was developed to assess risks across a wide range of environments, including a searchable and publicly available…Region: North

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

ICA00004 - Enhancement of yield and yield stability of spring bread wheat in…
Bread wheat is the main food source in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region. However, its production is limited by many abiotic and biotic stresses. This project aimed to enhance bread wheat productivity and yield stability in dry areas including Australia. The outcome of the project is that wheat breeders, pre-breeders and researchers in CWANA and Australia have access to:…Region: North

UA00092 - Chemistry and crop agronomy in alkaline cropping soils
Alkaline soils occupy about 23.8% of total land area in Australia. Pot trials and field observations using alkaline soils and growing cereals and legumes have shown the following results. More than 30% reduction in grain productivity occurs when the pH is above 9.0. Above this pH, negative species of aluminium and carbonates become toxic to crops. Low flocculating power of magnesium (Mg),…Region: South

CSP00140 - Use of managed environments to identify and validate traits for…
Numerous traits have been identified for increasing wheat performance under drought. Their adoption in breeding depends on their value in specific drought environments. This report summarises the preliminary assessment of specifically-bred wheat germplasm with contrasting traits for improved water use efficiency (WUE) at trial sites managed to control water availability to plants. Adaptation was…Region: South

UQ00043 - CIMMYT ICARDA Suite of Projects: Database Project
This project forms part of a suite of projects that have collaboratively managed the introduction, evaluation and distribution of wheat lines from the international wheat breeding programs at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) in Mexico and the International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA), previously in Syria, and now in Morocco. Specifically,…Region: National
