supply of investment aims to provide introductory training that will impart technology skills to growers in a ‘hands-on’ manner and will be specific to and driven by issues raised by growers in each region initial scoping phase. specific to these issues, it will showcase mobile device integration technologies and low cost, simple pa methods already in use by growers and advisers. various mapping-based apps that may assist in simplifying the transition to applied decision making utilising spatial information and on the opportunity for vrt integration into farm management systems, will be discussed. it will also identify a selection of cost effective precision agriculture opportunities that growers can consider implementing on farm to respond to key management and resource input decisions that affect profitability.
supply of investment will discover if improved acquisition of p by crops is limited by distribution of p in the profile, or whether soil moisture limitations during the season prevent crop p uptake, or in fact, whether both factors interact impacting p acquisition. a network of field trials will inform critical soil p test values at and below 0-10cm on a range of soil types in central and southern nsw, victoria and south australia. the investment will also develop strategies to maximise return on p fertiliser investment.
climate-variability has a significant impact on farm-business profitability. while notable improvements have been made in seasonal forecasting with general circulation models gcms, growers and producers are frustrated by the inherently variable skill within and between models from one season to the next and in different locations i.e. different grid cells for which forecasts are issued.a recently completed rural r&d for profit project on improving seasonal forecasting rdc00014completed an assessment of seasonal forecast skill for a small number of gcms where forecasts were issued at key decision points for aiding with on-farm decision making.the models evaluated showed considerable discrepancies in skill when forecasting rainfall terciles based on a statistical analysis of forecast ‘hit-rate’. the grdc and the other participating sectors within the managing climate variability program meat and livestock australia, cotton research and development corporation, sugar research australia and agrifutures are seeking to build upon previous and current research assessing the comparative skill of different seasonal forecast systems i.e. model x grid cell x time of the year the forecast is issued to aid with on-farm decision making. while it’s important for growers and producers to have access to robust, quantitative assessments of seasonal forecast skill, it’s equally important for that information to be well contextualised and communicated in a manner that accounts for any limitations with research methodologies. to demonstrate the benefits of integrating that information within decision making processes on-farm, a series of case studies identifying the potential economic benefits from integrating seasonal forecasts with crop and/or production system models to guide strategic decision making e.g. crop choice is a supplementary focus area within the project.
