Aims:
The aim of this trial is to determine and demonstrate if stubble management treatments can lead to a reduction in conical snail numbers.
The trial is based on techniques used in SA where snails on the stubble are knocked to the ground on to days (35 deg +) where they dehydrate and die.
The trial tested and analysed the eff… read more
Aims:
To compare three legume crops in farmer scale seeding strip trials at three locations in the Albany Port Zone. Demonstrations will compare several legume crops in different soil types in different micro-environments. The same trial sites will be monitored in 2019 to determine the effects (positive or negative) of the legume break crop on the sub… read more
Aims:
The trial aimed to address the lack of long-term lime trials taking place in the Albany Port Zone.
The aim was to evaluate five different lime sources from the southwest to determine were differences in their effect on soil pH and yields.
Aims:
The trials aim was to assess and evaluate the effectiveness of mid-row banding (MRB) nitrogen, to improve N use efficiency and yields.
The trial involved both a small plot trial at South Stirlings and a broadacre site at Kendenup.
The broadscale trial contained two treatments where 125kg/ha of Urea was applied at seeding. T… read more
Aims:
To demonstrate the feed value of high biomass summer forage crops for increasing stocking rates and live weight gain of prime lambs and beef cattle compared to current systems used in the high rainfall zone.
Aims:
The trial aims to explore management options for non-wetting soils in the Albany port zone.
Conventional methods of managing non-wetting soils involve mechanical disturbance to mix non-wetting particles with wettable particles. This trial explores the best options for placement of wetters, and wetter types for managing non-wetting soil… read more
Aims:
To evaluate the grain yield and economic benefit of soil amelioration and controlled traffic practices on a broader range of soil types across the grain growing region of WA.
This trial aims to increase the knowldege and adpotion of deep ripping techniques and controlled traffic to allieviate non-wetting soils, compaction and waterlo… read more

Aims:
100% of Albany and Esperance port zone growers who frequently experience waterlogging will know if ripping and/or summer/cover crops are viable tools to improve crop establishment, crop rooting depth, and yield in a waterlogging year on their property.
Aims:
To enable growers to make timely and efficient nitrogen decisions in the Albany and Esperance port zones by having a rule of thumb around the cost/benefit of feeding N to crops on waterlogged soils.
Aims:
Aims:
A key aim of this project is through three years of trials to deliver key elements of a demonstrated and communicated variety specific HRZ Noodle Wheat production package. This purpose of the HRZ package is to increase noodle wheat quantity and quality and reduce downgrade risk.
A second aim of the project is to provide greater diversi… read more
Aims:
To test whether disturbance seeding systems overcome water repellence in non-wetting gravels and other soil health issues over time.
Aims:
To investigate deep ripping over several sites and seasons .
Aims:
The aim of this trial is to assess the viability of long season wheat in the HRZ.
Aims:
To determine if mobile phone technology can be used to map and study snails in the field.
Aims:
To report on the Fit for Dual Purpose and Dual Use Long Season Wheat Project.
Aims:
To work out what are the most important factors affecting bait efficacy on small pointed snails.
Aims:
To determine how best to ameliorate subsoil acidity.
Aims:
To, through three years of trials, deliver key elements of a demonstrated and communicated variety specific HRZ Noodle Wheat production package.
Aims:
To evaluate species and pasture phase systems (including hard seeded annuals) for light sand-plain soils (with low pH and low available soil water) in crop-based rotations.
Aims:
To report on a survey of the “Red Leaf Clover Syndrome”.
Aims:
To report on a three seeder trial.
Aims:
To provide the UAV rhizo summary.
Aims:
To present research information available on role of foliar fungicide mixtures with new chemistry against barley LR in a variety with known APR.
Aims:
To demonstrate establishment, management and viability of legume phase options in cropping rotations with appropriate agronomic management packages.
