• Demonstrate effectiveness of innovative technology to ameliorate and/or prevent subsoil acidity on a farm scale
Aims:
To highlight the main challenges faced in continuous cropping systems, and provide some recent research outcomes on best-bet management to sustain profitable continuous cropping with current and foreseeable technologies.
Aims:
To determine the impact of sheep grazing on stubbles during the summer fallow period on soil properties, crop resources and growth under no-till, controlled traffic cropping with strict weed control.
Aims:
To improve landholder understanding of soil moisture conditions through the use of raw data, the establishment of yield modelling and data analysis and interpretation.
Aims:
Interviews were conducted on each farm to determine for each paddock the species that were sown
Aims:
To offer students of St Anne's Agriculture classes Year 9 and 10 hands on opportunities to undertake a small field trial using varying urea rates.
Aims:
To establish trial sites at Wagga Wagga and Temora to provide a wider geographic base for the evaluation of canola allelopathy.
Aims:
To determin if harvest weed seed practices can be adopted to reduce soil week seed banks in high yielding HRZ areas of the southern region to address herbicide resistance issue.
Aims:
Aim to develop kinowledge and skills in improved soil moisture profile management to reduce yield loss and maximise profitability. Three moisture probes were established on Felix Farm north west of Ariah Park and Bellevue, south west of Ariah Park.
Aims:
To provide soil test calibrations with fertiliser repsonses for situations where the national database has minimal data.
Aims:
Identifying if the increase in soil organic matter content could be beneficial for improving soil water holding capacity, increasing nutrient supply.
Aims:
To deliver local trials to increase awareness of subsoil acidity and, demonstrate effectiveness of innovate technology to ameliorate and/or prevent subsoil acidity on farm scale.
Aims:
The study has been designed to examine the use of mixed legume swards which incorporate a mix of hardseeded legumes or hardseeded legumes sown with traditional legumes. Our aim over the lifetime of the study is to quantify the effect of mixed legume swards on livestock productivity and health as well as the balance between sown species and weeds… read more
Aims:
To investigate whether a break crop can be used to manage weeds.
Aims:
This paper reports results from previous reserach and some recent findings on inputs on fixed N2 by different legumes routinely measured. The project examines the effect of legumes or canola break crops on subsequent cereal productivity in cereal-dominated cropping systems.
Aims:
To investigate early sown wheats in the Junee Reefs and Rankins Springs areas.
Aims:
To test the practicality of increasing soil humic carbon on farm.
Aims:
To evaluate different harvest and post-harvest stubble management techniques and measure their effect on harvest efficiency, grain losses and growth and yield of the subsequent crop.
Aims:
The aim of this demonstration trial was to compare the ability of PodGuard to reduce the occurrence of shattering events, allowing a variety with this trait to increase yields without losses due to shattering.
Aims:
Work conducted by Clive Kirkby (CSIRO) has investigated the feasibility of increasing soil carbon levels with the use of balanced amounts of nutrients and incorporation of stubble.
The overall aim of the project was to raise awareness of farmers about how they can reduce green house gas emissions, sequester soil carbon and make improve… read more
Aims:
To assess the differences between disc and tyne seeding systems in commercial practice.
Aims:
To compare two farming systems, one with and one without the addition of old man saltbush (OMSB). Farming system one (‘No saltbush’) operated a crop/pasture rotation which was similar to that used in the central west of NSW. Farming system two (‘Saltbush’) had an rop/pasture rotation, but each paddock had 20% of its area replaced with b… read more
Aims:
Aims:
To discuss strategies and tactics to extend whole-farm water-use efficiency - sow on-time or early!
Aims:
To compare the productivity and profitability of cropping in the presence of a background of herbicide resistant ryegrass, and to assess the implications of various low or high input grass control options applied to wheat and break crops on production costs and ryegrass management.
Aims:
To measure the impacts on wheat and canola of brown manure peas. Focus on N usage, moisture conservation, weed control and yield.
Aims:
To measure the impacts of brown manure peas on nitrogen fixation, moisture conservation, weed control and yield compared to a traditional long fallow system.
Aims:
To assess the differences between disc and tyne seeding systems in commercial practice.
Aims:
To assess the differences between disc and tyne seeding systems in commercial practice.
Aims:
To determine the impact on soil carbon fraction levels of applications of balanced nutrients, N, P and S, stubble retention, stubble removal and stubble incorporation.
Aims:
To assess the impact of sheep grazing on crops, stubbles, soil structure, water dynamics and crop yield.
Aims:
To assess the impact of sheep grazing on crops, stubbles, soil structure, water dynamics and crop yield.
Aims:
To compare the productivity and relative profitability of various low input/low risk cropping options with alternative high input/high risk, but potentially higher return crops.
Aims:
To assess the impact of sheep grazing on crops, stubbles, soil structure, water dynamics and crop yield.
Aims:
To assess the impact of sheep grazing on crops, stubbles, soil structure, water dynamics and crop yield.
Aims:
To see how slow maturing wheats sown early into stored water yielded in comparison to mid-fast varieties sown during the usual sowing window.
