Forecasting how optimal flowering windows and crop yields will be impacted by the warming climate, and what growers can do about it, has been unexplored \u2013 until now. A new economics project under the Optimising Irrigated Grains Initiative, led by Associate Professor Matt Harrison from University of Tasmania, has brought together researchers, farming groups, and industry organisations to compare and predict optimal flowering windows to increase yields.\xa0\xa0\nIt\u2019s the first time contemporary genotypes have been compared across rainfed vs irrigated crops to predict current and future crop flowering windows across several growing regions using real weather and field trial data.\xa0\nThe project\u2019s focus on real world testing and grower engagement has resulted in a free online tool, Water Can Profit, that calculates farm inputs and helps growers make more profitable decisions.\xa0\n\nContact:\xa0\nMatthew Harrison\xa0\nTasmanian Institute of Agriculture, University of Tasmania\xa0\nEmail: matthew.harrison@utas.edu.au\xa0\n\xa0\nMore Information:\xa0\nWaterCanProfit main website\n\xa0\nDetails on the WaterCanProfit App\xa0\nHere is the hint for installation:\xa0\nThe WaterCanProfit app version 1.2.3(8) is now available for both Android and iOS.
