A second season of data collection and validation is now required to test whether these relationships are repeatable across different seasonal conditions and a broader range of environments. Repeating the work at similar location types, with the same varieties and nitrogen structure, would help better define environmental thresholds for efficient biomass conversion and assess the value of drone-derived imagery in supporting interpretation of yield stability and grain realisation. This validation series will leverage existing trials, including DPIRD Trials: 1. Low rainfall (Tarin Rock): 4 N rates, 1 TOS, 3 varieties (48 plots) 2. Medium rainfall (Narrogin): 4 N rates, 1 TOS, 3 varieties (48 plots) 3. High rainfall (West Dale): 4 N rates, 2 TOS, 3 varieties (96 plots) Grains Research and Development Corporation · Australia (Commonwealth) | 19 Oct 2026 | 126,000 |
Growers have emphasised the urgent need for clearer guidance on micronutrient management. The discussion is now turning towards fertiliser strategies for pulses, particularly regarding micronutrients, following ongoing research into phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and sulphur (S) application. Growers are seeking up-to-date recommendations to optimise micronutrient use in established and emerging pulse varieties.

An opportunity exists with local growers in the Albany Port Zone to continue to investigate earlier sowing times for commercially available winter wheat varieties. With the trend towards earlier sowing dates to either satisfy large hectare programs or to take advantage of late summer rainfall utilising some winter wheat varieties as an addition to more common spring wheat varieties could allow growers to take advantage of the conditions when they can.
