The GRDC Low Rainfall Crop Sequencing project investigated how different breakcrop options affect low rainfall farming systems over 4 years. As part of this project a series of one or two year break phases were grown in the Upper North (Appila) followed by two or three years of wheat and compared against continuous wheat. The…

]Funding Body: GRDC, supported DAWR, MLA and AWI Project Duration: 2019 – 2022 The Dryland Legume Pasture Species project has been driven by significant changes in farming practices. Over the past three decades there has been a shift from integrated crop-livestock production to intensive cropping in drier areas, which has significantly reduced farm enterprise…
Full Name: Upper North Barley Time of Sowing Trial; Frost / Heat Stress Effects Funding Body: SAGIT The aim of this trial is to investigate time of sowing for individual barley cultivars with different maturities in the Low Rainfall Zone of the Upper North where frost and heat stress events are common spring…
