    Pulse establishment under investigation

    Simulation modelling, together with field and pot trials, is showing pulses could be sown deeper and earlier to improve performance in regions of Western Australia, especially in regions where climate is changing. Honing her agronomy skills on a GRDC capacity-building project, Dr Sarah Rich enjoys contributing her insights and expertise to issues of priority for the Australian grains industry.

    Legacy created for Australian mungbeans

    Legacy information is being generated for the Australian mungbean industry by improving the model component of APSIM Next Gen to provide insights to improve mungbean agronomic recommendations to reduce climate risks and yield variability. The work is underpinned by a GRDC-supported capacity-building project.

  • Role models nurture plant pathology skills

    Role models nurture plant pathology skills

    Genetic and pathology skills are being honed to support improved management of Sclerotinia stem rot through a GRDC-supported capacity-building project. Virginia Mwape only intended to come to Australia for a short course but, encouraged by Australia’s scientists, she has stayed on to complete a master’s and now a doctorate in philosophy, specialising in pathology.
