Assessing the Potential for Zone-Specific Management of Cereals in Low-Rainfall South-Eastern Australia: Combining On-Farm Results and Simulation Analysis
In the low-rainfall region of south-eastern Australia, distinctive soil types reflecting
the typical landscape of higher elevated dunes and swale zones at the bottom
can be found within one field. Different soil characteristics ...
Influence of crop rotation and liming on greenhouse gas emissions from a semiarid soil
Semi-arid lands represent one fifth of the global land area but our understanding of greenhouse gas fluxes from these regions is poor. We investigated if inclusion of a grain legume and/or lime in a crop rotation altered ...
Grasslands in 'Old World' and 'New World' Mediterranean-climate zones: past trends, current status and future research priorities
Despite their ecological, economic and social importance,
grasslands in areas with Mediterranean climates
continue to receive limited scientific, political and
media attention. The main objectives of this review
are to ...
Evidence that dicot-infecting mastreviruses arep articularly prone to inter-species recombination and have likely been circulating in Australia for longer than in Africa and the Middle East
Viruses of the genus Mastrevirus (family Geminiviridae) are transmitted by leafhoppers and infect either mono- or dicotyledonous plants. Here we have determined the full length sequences of 49 dicot-infecting mastrevirus ...
Comparison of hourly and daily reference crop evapotranspiration equations across seasons and climate zones in Australia
Estimates from the FAO Penman–Monteith (FAO-PM) and the standardized ASCE Penman–Monteith(ASCE-PM) hourly and daily reference evapotranspiration (ET0) equations were compared at daily scale,based on the hourly climate data ...
Seasonal Demand Dynamics of Residential Water End-Uses
Water demand prediction by end-use at an appropriate spatial and temporal
resolution is essential for planning water supply systems that will supply water from a
diversified set of sources on a fit-for-purpose basis. ...
APSIM e Evolution towards a new generation of agricultural systems simulation
Agricultural systems models worldwide are increasingly being used to explore options and solutions for
the food security, climate change adaptation and mitigation and carbon trading problem domains. APSIM
(Agricultural ...
A Review of Continental-to-Global Sustainable Water Use Assessment
Freshwater scarcity and unsustainable water use are some of the growing concerns in many parts of the world. Increasing water demand accompanied by increasing climate change leads to the unsustainable use of freshwater ...
Improving water productivity in the Australian Grains industry—a nationally coordinated approach
Improving the water-limited yield of dryland crops and farming systems has been an underpinning objective
of research within the Australian grains industry since the concept was defined in the 1970s. Recent slowing in ...
Influence of urea fertiliser formulation, urease inhibitor and season on ammonia loss from ryegrass
This paper reports the results of experiments to determine whether ammonia (NH3) loss can be reduced and nitrogen (N) use efficiency improved by using two relatively new commercial urea formulations rather than granular ...
