Molecular ecological analysis of vegetation function in fragmented Australian biomes

The aims of this project were to quantify the strength and scale of reproductive interactions among native plant populations occupying remnant vegetation patches in fragmented cropping landscapes in NSW and WA, assess their demographic significance in terms of progeny fitness and population viability and from this develop models of inter-patch interactions in relation to landscape configuration.

Defining precision irrigation

Despite the widespread promotion and adoption of precision agriculture in dry-land cropping systems, the concept of irrigation being part of precision agricultural systems is still getting off the ground, both in Australia and internationally. There is currently no cohesive framework available to guide research, development or adoption of precision irrigation and its associated support technologies. This project is reviewing irrigation research, existing technologies and the use of precision (more)...

Knowledge Management in Cotton & Grain Irrigation

Knowledge is fundamental to improving the competitiveness, responsiveness and levels of innovation that we see in industries. This research project aimed to determine how information and knowledge about water management and water use efficiency is being used and managed in irrigated cotton and grains and the key factors influencing decision making. To do this, 90 interviews of growers of cotton and grains, consultants, extension workers, government researcher officers, and irrigation (more)...
