Northern Region pulse research, demonstration and extension (Southern to Central NSW)

Summary and scope

GRDC is investing in a regionally relevant pulse research, demonstration and extension program across southern and central NSW to improve the profitability, reliability and adoption of priority pulse crops in farming systems. The investment will generate locally relevant field trial and demonstration data, address key agronomic constraints and opportunities with growers and advisers, and deliver practical extension to support decisions on pulse fit, crop and variety choice, establishment, nutrition, pest, disease and weed management, harvestability, grain quality and farming system integration. Delivery will use a hub-and-spoke model and link with GRDC’s national pulse coordination, monitoring and evaluation activities to ensure regional work is aligned with broader pulse research, breeding, market and farming systems priorities.
