Wheat yields globally will depend increasingly on good management to conserve rainfall
and new varieties that use water efficiently for grain production. Here we propose an …

Wheat crops usually yield more when grown after another species than when grown after
wheat. Quantifying the yield increase and explaining the factors that affect the increase will …

Abstract From 1990, the Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) has grown from
a field-focused farming systems framework used by a small number of people, into a large …

With world population growing quickly, agriculture needs to produce more with fewer inputs
while being environmentally friendly. In a context of changing environments, crop models …

Closing the yield gap is essential for global food security and for farmers who face
increasing costs of production. Recent work showed that Australia's wheat growers are …

Across the Australian wheat belt, the time at which wheat flowers is a critical determinant of
yield. In all environments an optimal flowering period (OFP) exists which is defined by …

Shifts in rainfall and rising temperatures due to climate change pose a formidable challenge
to the sustainability of broadacre crop yields in Western and South-Eastern Australia. Output …

The amount of reactive N in soils on the Australian continent appears to be increasing,
mainly because of biological N-fixation by permanent pastures in the dryland farming zone …

Adoption of conservation agriculture (CA) principles in Australia increased rapidly during the
1990s and it now boasts the highest adoption rates worldwide. These principles of (1) …

This review is motivated by (i) the magnitude of the threat to world food security and diversity
of natural vegetation posed by viral and bacterial pathogens of plants at a time of …
