Irrigated Wheat in Southern Cropping Systems
This manual provides an outline of the best management practice principles to consider for high-yielding irrigated wheat production in south-eastern Australia. It is an output of the ‘Southern irrigated cereal and canola varieties achieving target yields’ project (2014–17) that aimed to demonstrate an increase in irrigated cereal and canola production.
Good Managment Guide – Durum Wheat
Durum Wheat was investigated as part of the Optimising Irrigated Grains research programme over three years. The research covered all aspects of agronomy, but nutrition was a key component of the work. How can we reliably achieve 7t/ha plus with protein levels that meet the 13% level? Work was centred on Nitrogen rates and timing.

Good Management Guide - Barley
Barley was investigated as part of the Optimising Irrigated Grains research programme over three years. The research covered all aspects of agronomy, germplasm, crop structure and plant population were key components of the work
Systems Investigating the opportunities for offsetting yield losses in late sown spring barley by increasing plant density
The trial was designed in investigate the interaction between plant densities and time of sowing in spring sown barley.
Impact of Nitrogen Rate and Timing on Irrigated Barley
Different nitrogen rates and application timings will be examined to determine which management approach can maximise yield without compromising the end market.
The intention is to observe how such treatments impact yield and grain quality.
