This project (3.2.001) investigated carrier materials that could deliver imidacloprid in a controlled manner for sugarcane farming systems. The work had three main phases: a literature review and workshop, preparing and analysing the carrier materials, and loading and release testing. Read our final project report.

Led by Dr Murray Hart (NSW DPIRD), the overall purpose of the project was to achieve reliable and profitable crop productivity in soils with multiple constraints and to close the gap between farm production and the rainfall-limited crop yield potential in major soil types in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia.

This report summarises findings of the project ‘More profitable crops on highly calcareous soils by improving early vigour and overcoming soil constraints’ (4.2.003), from four years of activities where the first three years were initially contracted and then extended for a fourth year.

This project (4.2.003) focused on identifying practical approaches to improve soil condition, early crop vigour, and crop productivity on calcareous soil in the south-east and upper Eyre Peninsula of South Australia. Read our research findings fact sheet.

The main aim of the ‘New amendments for sandy soils’ project (3.3.003) was to assess the potential for using novel amendments to increase the reactive surface area of sands and thereby create a root environment that delivers water and nutrients to plant roots more effectively for enhanced crop growth.

This project (3.3.003) assessed the use of novel amendments to increase the reactive surface area of sands and thereby improve delivery of water and nutrients to plant roots. Read our research findings fact sheet to learn more.

Led by A/Prof Jason Condon from Charles Sturt University, this project (4.2.002) investigated the effectiveness of inorganic and organic amendment to soils to overcome yield restrictions induced by the soil. Read the final project report.
