Join Dr Kamal Adhikari for a crop walk at Agriculture Victoria’s ammonia loss trial site. During this session you'll hear the latest results from the 2025 season.

The trial is part of a Grains Research & Development Corporation (GRDC) National Grower Network project. It looks at how rainfall after urea application affects ammonia losses, crop performance and nitrogen use.

The project aims to provide local evidence that helps growers make better nitrogen management decisions.

You will also hear from:

• Dr Krista Sumby, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, University of Adelaide
• Dr Daniel Gregg, Senior Research Fellow, Flinders University

The speakers will provide an update on the GRDC Farming Systems South project. This project tracks the profit and risk of cropping systems across the GRDC southern region.

Researchers are testing ways to improve farm performance, including:

• gross margins
• water use efficiency

Field trials are running at sites across Victoria and South Australia in a range of farming environments.

Growers will have the opportunity to:

• hear about project progress and early findings
• share feedback on the research
• discuss how future trials can better support farm decision-making

Registration is not required – meet at the trial site (36°22'44.1"S 142°12'26.8"E). This session will finish at Wallup Hall.

Morning tea and lunch is provided.
