| CN3609435 | Optimising profitability of high rainfall zone farming systems-survey, farmer-scale demonstration trials and field days | Grains Research and Development Corporation | $268,400 |
| CN4132235 | NGN Stubble management to improve seeding efficiency and crop establishment | Grains Research and Development Corporation | $259,587 |
| CN4148380 | Stubble management is a significant issue in Western Australia particularly in the high rainfall zone, where it is not uncommon for cereal yields to reach over 7 t/ha with the resulting stubble loads being up to 10 t/ha. This is a high amount of stubble residue left post harvest and is an increasing concern for local growers due to poor establishment of following crops, nitrogen (N) tie-up, disease carryover issues and seeding operation inefficiencies such as, blockages, hair pinning, poor soil throw and bulldozing. As a result, plant establishment has become increasingly difficult, particularly Canola establishment. Traditionally, high stubble loads in the region have been removed by burning, however, there has been a move away from burning due to a combination of social license issues, as well as farming system concerns. Burning increases the risk of erosion and nutrient loss and decreases soil moisture. Growers are also concerned with Nitrogen (N) tie-up from retained crop stubble. Although cereal stubbles contribute very little N to the following crop, stubbles are a source of carbon and N is required from the soil to breakdown this high carbon material. Previous GRDC research has been conducted to understand the additional N requirements needed to overcome early N immobilisation by stubble, this research suggests that an additional 5-6 kg N/t of cereal residue can help overcome the issues of stubble N immobilisation. (https://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/grdc-update-papers/tab-content/grdc-update-papers/2018/02/the-effect-of-stubble-on-nitrogen-tie-up-and-supply). Investigation into whether the addition of nutrients, in addition to an enzyme ‘digester’ to stubble in conjunction with mechanical stubble treatments, during the summer fallow period, can increase the rate of stubble breakdown to allow for improved winter crop establishment (especially canola) and reduction in early season nitrogen tie-up. Reduced carryover of stubble-borne diseases could also be explored via observations | Grains Research and Development Corporation | $235,988 |
| CN3679293 | Understanding return on investment of sub-surface water management options for waterlogged areas in the Western Region (Albany Port Zone) | Grains Research and Development Corporation | $225,665 |
| CN3822329 | Locally relevant spring and/or summer sown cropping opportunities for grain growers following excessive winter waterlogging – South-Western Australia | Grains Research and Development Corporation | $225,500 |
| CN3515224 | Ripper Gauge Demonstration sites, Albany port zone | Grains Research and Development Corporation | $224,100 |
| CN3515226 | Demonstrations of legume crops for reliable profitability in the Albany port zone | Grains Research and Development Corporation | $214,830 |
| CN3834055 | Locally relevant spring and/or summer sown cropping opportunities for grain growers following excessive winter waterlogging - South-Western Australia | Grains Research and Development Corporation | $205,000 |
| CN3941714 | Since January 2021, the price of urea has increased from $256/t to $1,026 (Australian Trade and Investment Commission, 2022). This has been driven by rising global energy prices and by Russia and China imposing fertiliser export restrictions in 2021 and constraining global supply. It has been predicted that continued conflict between Russia and Ukraine will further increase global energy and fertiliser prices. This is currently a considerable concern for growers in Western Australia. Growers in the highly productive (and high-risk) Albany Port zone are looking towards management measures that will de-risk their nitrogen strategies. An opportunity lies in utilising often plentiful residual soil moisture at harvest to seed a legume cover crop such as cowpea, lab lab, soybeans, vetch or other small seeded legumes that can be brown-manured and incorporated prior to seeding. This is in place of the traditional summer chemical fallow. | Grains Research and Development Corporation | $199,902 |
| CN4028087 | NGN- Snails surveillance project for the South Coast of Western Australia | Grains Research and Development Corporation | $141,615 |
| CN4238134 | The project will establish four paddock scale barley demonstration sites (Frankland River, Mount Barker, Woogenellup North and Green Range) with a nil control and four in season N strategies reflecting likely grower supply scenarios. SCF will run a fortnightly plant tissue testing program from early tillering to late stem elongation, supported by baseline and follow up soil N testing, two NDVI timings and harvest yield mapping, and will extend results to growers through a simple traffic light alert system via monthly e news updates, interim short videos and at least one field walk. The intended outcome is improved confidence and timeliness of in season N decisions—matched to crop stage, rainfall received and fertiliser already applied—so growers can better protect yield and nitrogen use efficiency under constrained inputs. | Grains Research and Development Corporation | $121,676 |
| CN3866569 | Increasing the effectiveness of claying in the Albany Port Zone | Grains Research and Development Corporation | $103,400 |
| CN3515221 | Snails, Slugs and Slaters in Western Australia: Case Studies of Growers in WA's Southern Coastal Region | Grains Research and Development Corporation | $100,000 |
