Intercropping—Towards an Understanding of the Productivity and Profitability of Dryland Crop Mixtures in Southern Australia Open
Intercropping using mixtures of dryland crop species for grain or seed production was investigated in southern Australia across a range of rainfall zones over three years. The objective was to understand the productivity and profitability …

Intercropping—Evaluating the Advantages to Broadacre Systems Open
Intercropping is considered by its advocates to be a sustainable, environmentally sound, and economically advantageous cropping system. Intercropping systems are complex, with non-uniform competition between the component species within th…

Integrating crop modelling and production economics to investigate multiple nutrient deficiencies and yield gaps Open
A method is described for integrating crop modelling and production economics to quantify optimum applications of multiple nutrients and yield gaps. The method is demonstrated for crop production in the high‐rainfall zone of southern Austr…

Intensive pH sampling and variable rate surface application of lime: does it pay? Open
The principles of production economics were used to generate profit-maximising lime 'prescriptions’ for each homogenous zone (HZ) within 10 case-study cropping paddocks in the Victorian HRZ, and to quantify the net benefits of the precisio…

New Red-blushed Pear to Boost Grower Profitability Open
A discounted net cash flow (NCF) model incorporating Monte Carlo simulation was developed to quantify the net benefits and risks of growing the new red-blushed pear cultivar ‘ANP-0131’ (Deliza®) on a representative orchard block in Victori…

The ‘Dairy Nitrogen Fertiliser Advisor’ - a method of testing farmers’ fertiliser decisions against a meta-analysis N-response function Open
Decisions about using N fertiliser rely typically on rules based on expected average pasture responses to N applied, a flawed criterion from the perspective of production economic theory. In this paper, the rationale for a web-based tool c…

Optimising irrigated agricultural productivity under varying water availability: industry challenges in northern Victoria Open
In an environment of uncertain water allocations, irrigated agriculture in Northern Victoria is being challenged to meet the opportunities of a growing domestic and international market.Historically, increased agricultural demand has relie…

The ‘Dairy Nitrogen Fertiliser Advisor’ - a tool to predict optimal N application rates in grazed dairy pastures Open
Nitrogen (N) is the most limiting nutrient in intensive pasture-based dairy systems in Australia. To-date, decisions regarding N have relied mostly on generalised rules based on average pasture responses to applied N. In this paper, a new …
