The optimising irrigated grains research was a 3 year investment by GRDC. Irrigation Farmers Network in collaboration with FAR Australia developed a research program to evaluate crop specific agronomic management practices in irrigated environments in order to determine their effects on system productivity and profitability.
The research focused on maximising system profitability through:
- Understanding the yield potential of irrigated crops
- Understanding how to consistently optimise yield for the crops.
- Optimising the return on nitrogen through improved nitrogen use efficiency
Today we are speaking with Research Manager from Irrigation Farmers network Damian Jones to learn more about the key messages from this work that growers can use to optimise their Faba Bean crops.
The Irrigation Channel
The Irrigation Farmers Network (formerly Irrigated Cropping Council) is proud to present The Irrigation Channel - a podcast that brings news and information from the world of irrigation research and practices.
The Irrigation Farmers Network (IFN) is a farmer driven, not for profit, independent research organisation, committed to providing the latest research in irrigated grain production and connecting growers with local, state and national research and extension.
Collaborating with key research/extension organisations and funding bodies ensures growers across the region have access to the latest information in irrigated grain production systems to enable them to make informed decisions about best practice and drive profitable, sustainable farm systems.
