Researchers from The University of Western Australia’s Institute of Agriculture have used genome mapping on chickpea root traits to improve the efficiency of phosphorus acquisition and use.

Phosphorus is the main fertiliser input required to successfully grow pulse crops, and local growers have expressed a desire for improved information to achieve the most profitable results when applying this nutrient.

The Kingaroy Research Facility is poised to become a major hub for pigeon pea research following the addition of 53 ha of adjoining land.

A new study, led by researchers from The University of Western Australia and scientists and expert plant breeders from Limagrain is set to revolutionise the future of wheat production, with three genes identified that will enable the breeding of hybrid wheat crops that promise higher…

A team of scientists have measured the relative importance of the different obstacles that carbon dioxide (CO2) encounters in its voyage from the atmosphere to the interior of plant cells, where it is converted into sugars. This research leading method provides much needed information that…

Agricultural scientists and engineers at the University of Adelaide have identified a potential new tool for screening cereal crops for frost damage.
