    Expanded market options for better sorghum

    A sorghum breeding program to improve grain quality alongside a project to explore end-uses for sorghum in food and beverage supply chains has resulted in a net benefit for growers

  • The case for high value pulses in WA
    Delivering Impact, 19 Oct 2023
    The case for high value pulses in WA

    Best bet agronomic packages that support the inclusion of high value pulse crops in WA cropping rotations have delivered net benefits to growers

  • Closing yield gaps on sodic soils
    Delivering Impact, 16 Aug 2023
    Closing yield gaps on sodic soils

    Soil amelioration strategies prove beneficial following an investment push to improve productivity on Australia’s large swathe of sodic soils

  • Disease resistance breakthrough for barley
    Delivering Impact, 27 Jun 2023
    Disease resistance breakthrough for barley

    With no chemical methods available to control crown rot disease in barley, a project that identified novel sources of genetic resistance stands to deliver yield and income gains.
