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.
