Hyper Yielding Crops Initiative
The national Hyper Yielding Crops initiative is the GRDC\u2019s new investment to push crop yield boundaries in high yield potential grain-growing environments across Australia. The initiative will involve five centres of excellence. \n\nAttached to each centre of excellence will be five focus farms (25 farms in total) and a lead grower network aimed at taking research and development learnings from small plot to paddock scale. Grower and adviser involvement is now being sought to inform the research direction. \n\nThrough the new investment, high yield potential cultivars suited to local environments will be identified and the most appropriate agronomic management tactics \u2013 including paddock selection and preparation, canopy management, disease, weed and pest control, and crop nutrition strategies \u2013 will be explored to assist grower and adviser decision making. \n\nExtension co-ordinator: \nNick Poole, Managing Director Foundation for Arable Research Australia \n+61 499 888 066 \n\nJon Midwood, TechCrop Services \n0400 666 434 \ntechcrop@bigpond.com @Crop_Watch \n\nRegional contacts: \nAshley Amourgis SFS, VIC \naamourgis@sfs.org.au \n\nIan Herbert SFS, TAS \niherbert@sfs.org.au \n\nKate Coffey Riverine Plains, NSW \nkate@riverineplains.org.au \n\nJen Lillecrapp MFMG, SA \njen@brackenlea.com \n\nPhillip Mackie Stirlings to Coast farmers, WA \nphillip.mackie@scfarmers.org.au \n\nUseful resources: o\thttps://grdc.com.au/news-and-media/audio/podcast/hyper-yielding-cereals-project\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2PndQdkNRHHNrRus6zZ2v5QKw8hIwVvs o\t\n\nhttps://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/grdc-update-papers/tab-content/grdc-update-papers/2019/03/hyper-yielding-cereals-are-extra-inputs-needed-and-if-so,-do-they-pay o\t\n\nhttps://groundcover.grdc.com.au/crops/cereals/new-hyper-yielding-investment-to-push-crop-production-boundaries\n\nhttps://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/grdc-update-papers/tab-content/grdc-update-papers/2020/07/tasmanians-are-on-the-frontline-of-fungicide-resistance-what-options-are-available-to-slow-the-train\nLearn more about your ad choices.
