An efficient and innovative plant tissue culture program that produces wheat and barley doubled haploid (DH) lines for Australian plant breeding companies and researchers at DPIRD and other Austral

The WA Government is investing $15 million into an Agriculture Climate Resilience Fund to help WA farmers and industry to respond to the challenges of climate change.

TuYV symptoms

Turnip yellows virus (TuYV; formerly beet western yellows virus) is transmitted by the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) and can cause yiled and quality losses in canola.

The Third Review (the Review) of the National Gene Technology Scheme (Scheme), endorsed by all Australian governments on 11 October 2018, recommended “clarifying, and where necessary strengthening,

Growers will have an increased awareness of the impact of virus diseases, leading to an increased profitability through the adoption of virus resistant varieties and implementation of virus and ins

The South West Land Division (SWLD) has an equal chance of receiving neutral to below median rainfall for April to June 2024, according to the current model rainfall outlook.

Australian grain growers will be able to reduce the manageable impact of fungal disease using validated decisions support tools in managing the major diseases of cereal, oilseed and pulse crops.

The aim of this project is to help more growers with ameliorated soils in the medium and high rainfall zones adopt new farming systems techniques to maintain the benefits of soil amelioration, as w

Growers and agronomists will have an improved understanding of pulse growth and development across a range of environments enabling the matching of pulse genotypes with soil and climate to maximise

Wheat and barley growers in the LRZ and MRZ of the Southern and Western Regions will be able to reduce the impact of Rhizoctonia on their crops through gaining new knowledge on the risk of the dise

Australian grain growers will be able to adopt and integrate the agronomic and systems innovation results from this project to manage enterprise mix and rotations, supporting increased whole farm p

Lupin breeders and researchers will have the genetic tools and knowledge to deliver lupin varieties with improved disease and yield stability. 

This project aims to establish gene silencing and DNA-free gene editing platforms for WA’s major grain crops, including wheat, barley and lupin.

Growers will be enabled and supported to implement specific integrated weed management strategies to reduce the economic impact of brome grass across the low rainfall zones of the Western and South

Breeders will have access to improved vegetative cold and reproductive chilling tolerant chickpea lines and high throughput screening techniques and diagnostic molecular markers.

Growers cropping soil constrained by sodicity and transient salinity in the eastern grainbelt will be able to reduce production risk and increase profitability by having access to improved informat

This project aimed to improve nutrient-use efficiency through soil acidity amelioration and applying fertiliser to meet agronomic need and, as a result, reduce the amount of nutrients leaching into

Nullarbor pastures are a group of the many pasture types in the southern pastoral rangelands of Western Australia.

The aim for this project is to discover the theoretical upper limit for crop yield in water limited environments by overcoming multiple soil constraints and boosting grain yields as a result.
