Integrated crop-livestock systems (ICL) have played an important role in human civilisation
and have dominated the broadacre agricultural production system in the wheat-sheep zone …

In the grain growing region of Queensland and New South Wales, Australia, crop production
occurs predominantly under semiarid, rainfed conditions. Vertosols dominate the soils used …

Increasingly variable rainfall and temperatures and larger farm size in Australia have
prompted earlier sowing of canola (Brassica napus L.). Improved agronomy and the release …

Understanding the reasons for the yield gap between potential and actual yield can provide
insights for enhancing canola production by adapting measures for ensuring food security …

Background and aims Alkaline dispersive subsoils are characterised by multiple
physicochemical constraints that limit plant water and nutrient acquisition. Subsoil …

Yield gaps, which reflect the difference between the yield a grower achieves in a field, and
the water-limited yield potential of that field, have been extensively discussed in the last …

In the high-rainfall zone of south-eastern Australia, deep incorporation of organic matter has
previously been reported to increase crop yields by improving access to subsoil water and …

CONTEXT Understanding the quantity and timing of labour to fulfill the goals of different
cropping systems or crop rotations is critical, but poorly quantified and understood in many …

Context Research in grain crops has focused on understanding the critical period (CP) for
yield formation to develop genetic and agronomic options that minimize stress or resource …

Dual-purpose (DP) cereals provide an opportunity to graze vegetative crops in autumn and
winter when pasture forage levels are low, and then harvested for grain after the exclusion of …
