Description

The De-Risking the Seeding project aims to increase adoption of key management practices for the success of dry and early sown crops, by investigating key aspects of sowing such as



  • Variety Selection
  • Opportunities for long coleoptile wheats
  • Seed placement / optimising sowing depth
  • Seeding rates
  • Fertiliser placement
  • Pre-emergent herbicide selection and timing
  • Optimal soil moisture and nutrient levels
  • The benefits of early groundcover


In this podcast we are speaking with Research Manager from Irrigation Farmers network Damian Jones to learn more about this project in irrigated farm systems and the key messages that growers can use to de-risk the seeding.



The De-Risking the Seeding project is supported by Ag Excellence Alliance Inc, through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.
