Long coleoptile - Disease interaction and deep sowing

Long coleoptile wheat varieties have the potential to deliver increased yield and therefore profit to Australian growers. That’s why GRDC is investing in extensive research to future proof the crop.  Steve Simpfendorfer from the NSW Department of Primary Industries is part of the nationwide project team, and his area of specialty is looking at how disease interacts with deep sowing.  This four-year long coleoptile wheat project, made possible with GRDC investment, is being led by CSIRO along with research partners including the University of Melbourne, New South Wales Department of Primary Industries, Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, SLR Agriculture, DPIRD, the University of South Australia, and EPAG research.  Contact Dr Steve Simpfendorfer  [email protected] More information GRDC announces $12.7M project for long coleoptile wheat GRDC project code CSP2212-007RTX  Learn more about your ad choices.
