Applying Technologies in the Field NDVI as a tool to predict fertiliser timing Additional N strips to test NDVI Map of trial paddock (vetch + canola) with strips of additional N fertiliser to test NDVI crop fertilisation prediction capacity Nill Post Urea 20Kg/ha Post Urea The NDVI testing had early suggested that the site would not be responsive to additional nitrogen

The application of No-till following pasture for sheep Investigating Barriers to Best Practice Grass removal strips Projected summer weed control Significantly lower weed species and grass root disease detected in the 2016 pasture phase of the No till trial zone Map of trial paddock with strips of summer weed control and grass removal

Alternative Carbon Based Seed Treatment and Bio-Fertiliser Trial Investigating Alternative Fertilisers Trial paddock with four treatments comparing alternative seed coatings and biological fertiliser to conventional coatings and inputs No significant difference between conventional inputs and alternative input treatments detected in yield values
