Improving management practices of Rhizoctonia ‘bare-patch’ on upper EP soils
Summary One of the main factors limiting productivity and therefore sustainability of cropping on upper Eyre Peninsula is the incidence of the soil borne disease, Rhizoctonia ‘bare-patch’. Research has demonstrated that a number of practices can significantly reduce the impact of the disease, but this has been difficult to demonstrate on a broad acre scale…
Delivering Multiple benefit messages – a partnership with NRM
Summary The objective of the project is to develop partnerships between the grains industry and the regional NRM organisations to identify common priority issues and opportunities for collaborative delivery and leveraging of investment. This project will deliver communication and extension messages to achieve on-farm practice change that provides production/economic gains and NRM/environment outcomes. A key…
Improved nitrogen efficiency across biophysical regions of the Eyre Peninsula
Summary This project measured nitrous oxide (N2O) emission levels from wheat grown in rotation with canola, pulses and legume pastures in key biophysical regions of the Eyre Peninsula (EP); while assessing best management practices that local farmers can adopt to minimize N2O losses from the use of synthetic fertilizers through the use of cost effective…
Farmers leading and learning about the soil carbon frontier
Summary The DAFF and GRDC funded national trial will examine existing, new and alternative strategies for farmers in the cereal sheep zone to increase soil carbon. The trial will be used as baseline data for carbon accumulation in soils and to: discuss the various forms of soil organic carbon (plant residues, particulate, humus and resistant…
Reducing methane emissions from improved forage quality on mixed farms
Summary The project will trial alternative pastures and forage crops to existing pastures to demonstrate their potential to improve feed quality and quantity as a means of increasing sheep production and reducing methane emissions from sheep on mixed farm enterprises in southern Australia.
