It was an absolute ripper, achieving the depths and drum roller beautifully, polishing it up. Thanks for the great work Ty Fulwood Grower Scale Trial at Grass Valley SWANP1 DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock GRDC West

A great team of researchers & growers over 4 years- we have learnt a lot about the infection process, high risk situations, & developed new strategies for managing Sclerotinia in lupin. We’re excited now to be sharing the key findings Mingenew Irwin Group CCDM DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock GRDC West

A $10 million project is set to transform how Australian agriculture understands & addresses #soilhealth – creating a standardised, cross-sector approach. CSIRO will lead the development of a Soil Health Framework tailored to Australian production systems. Read more:

Previous we showed most crops produced 80 cm deep roots in reengineered soil compared to 20-30 cm in the control. My team is now trying to demonstrate whether this barley can grow 1.2 m deep roots in Badgingarra gutless sand. Crop already showing difference within 2 weeks.

Spading has made a difference to barley growth on this strip of duplex gravel south of Wagin. I wonder what the yield difference could be?🤔Dr Gaus Azam DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock GRDC West Stephen Davies
