In the quest for better crop establishment and resilience in challenging environments, work continues to explore the potential of long coleoptile varieties. This innovation could provide another tool in tool kit for improving crop establishment outcomes the Mallee region and beyond.
Imagine a future where waiting for the autumn break is no longer a bottleneck for crop germination. Enter long coleoptile wheat varieties, presenting a unique opportunity for growers to establish a crop even when the weather seems uncooperative. These wheat varieties, with their elongated coleoptiles, have the potential to germinate from deeper within the soil, tapping into residual summer moisture and providing a lifeline for farmers in dry years.
This project will demonstrate, evaluate, and communicate innovative farming practices to low rainfall farmers in the tri-state Mallee and Eyre Peninsula regions to enable them to implement farming systems that maintain ground cover resilient to the pressures imposed by climate variability and management actions.
Servicing the Mallee area in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.
