Integrating long coleoptile wheat into Australian farming systems through an integrated understanding of genetics, management, and environment
Tender ID: 489514
Tender Details
Tender Description
To successfully integrate long coleoptile wheat (LCW) into Australian farming systems grain growers and industry (seed companies) require an understanding of complex environmental and management interactions. Underpinning the development of LCW (wide scale commercial release in 2022) to provide growers with tools (in the form of varieties) to access deeper soil moisture, is decades of research by CSIRO and GRDC investment of approximately $11.5 million. Small scale field research in WA and Qld, along with industry intelligence has identified knowledge gaps to permit the successful integration of LCW into Australian farming systems. A dedicated holistic research effort across contrasting production environments, soils and farming systems will lead to productivity gains and increased adoption of LCW genotypes at the time of their release.
