The GRDC Weed Management Initiative (WMI) is a 5.5 year and $47 million investment led by GRDC and developed to support Australian grain growers to manage one of the most persistent and costly challenges facing farming businesses. Prof Preston will cover the role that UoA will play in the WRI.
David Peck is the annual pasture breeder for South Australian Research and Development Institute. David will present on his work speed breeding and developing cultivars with different levels of physical dormancy to suit different pasture systems.
Sandy landscapes are considered the least productive and most vulnerable agricultural landscapes of Australia. With more than 22 million ha of sandy soils, the principles of conservation agriculture have been widely adopted in Australian cropping systems. However, with yield gaps exceeding 50% of the yield potential, there are constraints to production that need to be addressed to maintain sustainable and profitable crop production on these soils.
In addition to the Dr Therese McBeath and Dr Stephen Davies seminar on Thursday 31st July, we are privileged to have Professor Ayman Habib from Purdue University, Illinois, USA visiting APPN. On Friday 1st August he will present on the use of near proximal and proximal sensing for high throughput phenotyping.
