SARDI’s Turretfield Research Centre is contributing to a national program that helps Merino breeders evaluate elite sires and make data-driven breeding decisions. The Merino Sire Evaluation (MSE) program gives ram
The time between GS30 (end of tillering, start of stem elongation) and GS50 (end of booting, flag leaf is out, start of head emergence) depends on weather, growing region and varieties. A rough indication for wheat and barley is shown in table 2,
Monitoring biological factors affecting juvenile Snapper in SA’s gulfs and studying the relationships between recruitment and potential environmental influences.
Investigating possible changes in length and age, growth rates, and maturity size of Snapper in SA to inform stock assessment models.
The action threshold developed for Russian wheat aphid (RWA) is ‘dynamic’. This means that yield potential, market value of the crop, and cost of control are factored into each season’s calculation. At GS30 determine the RWA Action Threshold
Russian wheat aphid (Diuraphis noxia). Since its discovery in South Australia in 2016, Russian wheat aphid (RWA) has been found widespread in cereal-growing regions of South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and Tasmania. Given the very dry
Using the active acoustic methodology developed in WA to estimate the biomass of Snapper aggregations in SA’s gulfs.

Black field crickets. Black field crickets (Teleogryllus commodus) have been observed in higher than usual numbers in cropping and pasture paddocks around parts of South Australia this autumn. Large numbers have been reported in the South-East
Why SA can't ignore fall armyworm. The fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), an invasive pest native to the Americas, has been a growing concern for Australian agriculture in recent years. Fall armyworm, known for its rapid spread and big appetite,
