Overall, 60-70 per cent of flour is used in traditional flat breads, 20-25 per cent of flour is used in western style breads and 5-10 per cent is used in cakes and biscuits... In summary, canola varieties sown 2-3 weeks earlier than normal (early to mid April) can be grazed in winter prior to bud elongation (usually providing 600-800 dse grazing days/ha) and recover with no impact on yield or oil...

KEYMESSAGES Incorrect use of phosphine since the 1950s, has led to escalating resistance in stored grain insects which threatens the continued use of phosphine at the farm level... In summary, canola varieties sown 2-3 weeks earlier than normal (early to mid April) can be grazed in winter prior to bud elongation (usually providing 600-800 dse grazing days/ha) and recover with no impact on yield or oil... When running a trial it is important to: 1...

From the farm to the lab to take on frost.. "I saw the job as an opportunity to better understand frost and work on research investigating options for managing it," Brenton says... While the results of the first year of research are being analysed, Brenton says working on a frost research project has opened his eyes to a wider range of career opportunities within the grains industry and allowed him to build more extensive industry networks...

Widespread frosts in Western Australia in 1998 and 2005 caused wheat yield losses of 500,000 and 700,000 tonnes respectively, while drought, salinity, disease and nutrient issues are ongoing challenges for the State's cereal growers... The GRDC also has equity investments in three of the commercial wheat breeding companies in Australia... Region West, North, South < Keep browsing 0 Responses to Investments aim to crack wheat's 'tough nuts'..

A group of people in a field (From left) David, Graham, Adam, Jason and Heidi Gooden plan to sow EGA Wedgetail wheat in April this year, if moisture conditions allow, on their farm near Osborne in southern New South Wales... If there is sufficient soil moisture, the Gooden family in southern New South Wales will be among an increasing number of grain growers starting the season early and sowing in April... Season 2015 will be their third year of sowing EGA Wedgetail wheat in April, if conditions allow...

With frost damage now estimated to be costing growers $360 million a year, the Australian National Frost Program (ANFP) is broadening its assault on the issue... Dr Juttner says methods varied across the country, so the results could not be compared... Dr Juttner says the method ANFP researchers have now developed involves staggered times of sowing, so that when a frost event hits they can tag individual heads of different wheat and barley varieties, at the same stage of development - in other words, they can compare the effect of frost on different cultivars at a synchronised developmental stage and compare like with like...

Varietal differences in yield loss with delayed harvest can be in excess of 1.5 t/ha... There was a large difference between the amount of height reduction measured at the two sites with the maximum height reduction being 7 cm at Spring Ridge in 2011 compared to 34 cm at Moree in 2012... The low protein of Commander has generally been an advantage to meet malt specifications over the past couple of seasons extremely low proteins have been achieved throughout the region (<9%) suggesting that yield may have been sacrificed at this level...

Murray Bridge to host grains research Update.. Frost, in-crop herbicides, pastures, canola, top performing cereals and emerging commercial innovations will be on the agenda at the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) grains research Update at the Murray Bridge Golf Club... South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) researcher Andrew Ware will delve into plant development of canola under different sowing times and seasonal conditions, while SARDI's Rob Wheeler and University of Adelaide's Jason Eglinton will highlight the "best and fairest" wheat and barley performers in trials across SA in 2014...
