Improving returns from fertiliser nitrogen applications in the high rainfall zone of Victoria
Improving returns from fertiliser nitrogen applications in the high rainfall zone of Victoria
Growers who attended the Tatyoon NGN Forum (2022) identified a need to better understand soil nitrogen (N) reserves and supplies, the efficiency of the uptake of N from fertiliser applications into the crop, and how to best optimise fertiliser decisions to maximise returns in the high rainfall zone (HRZ). Factors...

Strategies for waterlogged crops in the High Rainfall Zone of the Southern Region
Strategies for waterlogged crops in the High Rainfall Zone of the Southern Region
Can Nutrition aid recovery of waterlogged crops? And what are the legacy effects for the next season? When waterlogging has destroyed the autumn sown crop, what are the options for spring sowing? What drainage options have growers adopted in the HRZ? What resources and research has been done?

DEEP BANDING NITROGEN
DEEP BANDING NITROGEN
This project aims to demonstrate options to current fertiliser management practices which typically involve large applications of surface applied nitrogen (mainly unprotected urea) onto crops at early stem extension. This is often at a time when soils are at field capacity and waterlogged, resulting in inefficient use of fertiliser. The...

SOIL AND PLANT TESTING
SOIL AND PLANT TESTING
This project involves an intensive soil and plant testing demonstration program involving approximately 100 growers across the southern region. At nutrient responsive sites, growers will be supported to instigate fertiliser test strips to illustrate responses, supported by plant tests. The impact on nutrient use efficiency, profit for each grower and...

NITROGEN FIXATION
NITROGEN FIXATION
Pulses are estimated to fix about 120kg N/ha, or more than 220,000 tonnes N across Australia, worth about $220 million each year. However, not all pulses are well nodulated and fix N to their potential, especially on acidic soils. It was recently estimated (by the GRDC) that N fixation could...

HYPER YIELDING CROPS
HYPER YIELDING CROPS
The purpose of this investment is to assist growers and their advisors to effectively implement new knowledge, tools, technologies or practices into whole-of-farm systems to set new attainable yield benchmarks. It will also extend, build upon and extract additional value from historic R,D&E outcomes from HYC in Tasmania.
