Foreword The NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) Northern Cropping Systems group is excited to provide a snap shot of some of the results of their Research & Development (R&D) programs operating in cropping across northern NSW. The majority of this work is conducted in collaboration with our major investment partner, the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) to address key issues in the northern grains region. The NSW DPI R&D teams based across the region; at Trangie, Tamworth, Narrabri and Grafton continue to conduct a range of experiments both at our research stations as well as at numerous on farm locations across the disciplines of plant breeding, agronomy, soils, nutrition, physiology and crop protection. In this eighth edition, a collection of 46 short papers have been prepared to showcase some of the results of our work to you, our valued clients. This book continues to be a major source of information to advisors and growers across the northern grains region, hopefully providing some insight into potential strategies which are available for on farm implementation to increase profitability and industry viability. These short papers have been written to improve the awareness and accessibility of the results from NSW DPI run research trials in the region. The papers are based on scientifically sound, independent research but need to be taken in the context of the situation and season that the work has been conducted. In many cases the research that is reported will prompt more questions and we encourage you to contact the authors to discuss any of these queries. The work that is reported is only possible through the cooperation of the many growers, advisors and consultants who our research teams work with throughout the year and these contributions are acknowledged within each paper. We also collaborate with other research organisations including grower groups such as Grains Orana Alliance and Northern Grower Alliance, agribusinesses, universities, seed companies, research development corporations and other state based research providers. Finally, we would like to thank the authors and editorial team for all their work compiling and reviewing the diverse range of papers in this year’s edition. We hope that you find the papers informative and of value to your business and we would welcome any feedback that you might have that would help us to continue to make the Northern NSW Research Results book a valuable resource into the future.

  • Breeza Update 2018 Combined Proceedings
    BREEZA NEW SOUTH WALES FRIDAY 2ND MARCH, 2018 GRAINS RESEARCH UPDATE DRIVING PROFIT THROUGH RESEARCH grdc.com.au GRDC Welcome Welcome to the 2018 GRDC Grains Research Updates Ensuring growers, advisors and industry stakeholders are informed about the latest research and development outcomes in their quest to improve on-farm profitability is a eyk role of the annual Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) Updates. As an industry we face new challenges in terms of climate variability, technology and market conditions, so it is important for all of us to have up-to-date knowledge to make informed decisions and drive practice change. Last season, New South Wales and Queensland grain growers experienced everything from moisture stress, to heat stress, frosts and waterlogged paddocks. This highlights the importance of robust and rigorous research to help underpin profitability across a range of climatic and environmental conditions. It also emphasises the value of GRDC investments into regional extension to equip growers and advisors with the information and support they need to make key farm management decisions. For 25 years, the GRDC has been driving grains research capability and capacity with the understanding that the future of Australian grain growers’ hinges on relevant, rigorous, innovative research that delivers genuine profitability gains. Despite the challenges the grains industry remains confident about the future, willing to embrace new concepts, and keen to learn more about innovations and technology that bring cost efficiencies, promote sustainability and grow productivity. The GRDC Updates deliver research direct to growers, agronomists and industry. This year the Updates will offer information from the latest research and development from short- and medium- term investments that address on-farm priority issues from farming systems, agronomy, soils, weeds to pests and diseases.

  • Selection and Breeding of Grain Legumes in Australia for Enhanced
    SELECTION AND BREEDING OF GRAIN LEGUMES IN AUSTRALIA FOR ENHANCED NODULATION AND N2 FIXATION D.F. HERRIDGE, J.F. HOLLAND XA9847573 New South Wales Agriculture Tamworth, New South Wales LA. ROSE New South Wales Agriculture Narrabri, New South Wales R.J. REDDEN Queensland Department of Primary Industries Warwick, Queensland Australia Abstract SELECTION AND BREEDING OF GRAIN LEGUMES IN AUSTRALIA FOR ENHANCED NODULATION AND N2 FIXATION During the period 1980-87, the areas sown to grain legumes in Australia increased dramatically, from 0.25 Mha to 1.65 Mha. These increases occurred in the western and southern cereal belts, but not in the north in which N continued to be supplied by the mineralization of soil organic matter. Therefore, there was a need to promote the use of N2-fixing legumes in the cereal- dominated northern cropping belt. Certain problems had to be addressed before fanners would accept legumes and change established patterns of cropping. Here we describe our efforts to improve N2 fixation by soybean, common bean and pigeon pea. Selection and breeding for enhanced N2 fixation of soybean commenced at Tamworth in 1980 after surveys of commercial crops indicated that nodulation was sometimes inadequate, particularly on new land, and that the levels of fixed-N inputs were variable and often low. Similar programmes were established in 1985 (common bean) and 1988 (pigeon pea). Progress was made in increasing N2 fixation by these legumes towards obtaining economic yields without fertilizer N and contributing organic N for the benefit of subsequent cereal crops. 1. INTRODUCTION In Australia, the total area for agriculture is around 470 Mha, with pastures of native species on 90% (420 Mha) and improved grass and legume pastures on 6% (26 Mha).

  • 1 February 2019 Committee Secretariat the Standing
    NNAA NORTHERN NSW AGRICULTURAL ALLIANCE 1 February 2019 Committee Secretariat The Standing Committee on Agriculture and Water Resources PO BOX 6021 Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600 via email: [email protected] Subject: Submission on Behalf of The Northern NSW Agricultural Alliance – Impact of Vegetation and Land Management Policies, Regulations and Restrictions Introduction Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission to this important inquiry. The Northern NSW Agricultural Alliance (NNAA) is a local movement founded in Northern NSW that has come together to stand up for a fair go for Australian farmers. The NNAA was established in November 2018 to advocate for reforms to legislation which restricts the ability of farmers to manage their land and unfairly prosecutes farmers without prior independent mediation. The NNAA was essentially founded as a result of multiple dealings that family famers in Northern NSW were having with the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). The Alliance has quickly grown to a movement representing the voices of more than 90 farming families and hundreds of other supporters across NSW who have been affected by laws regulating native vegetation management in NSW. Many of our families are multi-generational and based primarily in the areas of Moree, Walgett, Narrabri, Wee Waa, Mungindi, Burren Junction, Collarenebri, Coonamble, and Inverell. We advocate for a balanced, fair and practical approach to the management of Native Vegetation and we maintain that an emphasis should be placed at all times on the ‘triple bottom line’ approach which provides for social, economic and environmental outcomes. Executive Summary 1. The economic and social impact of regulated native vegetation management practices and restrictions have had overall negative impacts on regional communities and farmers.
