This project has part funded field operation costs charged by NSW DPI to CSIRO for experiments on ACRI at Narrabri in 2006/07. More than 10 projects have been supported and all field operations have been done well through collaboration within CSIRO and between CSIRO and NSW DPI.

Detailed aspects of each specific project will be reported in their annual and final reports.

CSIRO field research has addressed all important areas for yield and sustainability: breeding, disease resistance, soil and water management and insect management. Results of that research have substantially improved industry performance and value.
