Project Information

Summary:

Project objectives were to integrate prediction of NRM implications of crop management decisions into the Yield Prophet system. The project incorporated NRM elements around the themes of water impacts and stubble management into Yield Prophet allowing more integrated farm reporting.

Next Steps: Principle Investigator presented at July PMC meeting on future directions for decision support tools across the grains industry. Project approved for funding under MCV II proposes to undertake a critical evaluation of a range of prominent grains tools with a view to providing MCV with a’ future DSS investment strategy.

Project Information

Summary:

Project has delivered the increased functionality to Yield Prophet including links to POAMA, growth phases and additional cereals covered. A meeting was convened with the project team in early 08 to discuss further enhancements and opportunities for further R&D.

Next Steps: team needs to demonstrate likely RoI of further R&D investment in the agreed areas of enhancement. The first stage in the team’s proposed investment is partially covered in Zvi Hochman’s 2nd round research proposal. Second stage will be submitted as one component of MCV’s application to the DAFF Climate Change Call.
