The Crop Agronomy Group specialise in improving water-limited productivity of dry-land cropping and mixed farming systems.
Group research focuses on using combinations of management and genetics to increase the productivity and profitability of grain-based farming systems, with a current focus on Australia. The group has developed the philosophy of ‘transformational agronomy’ – which argues in favour of agronomists coordinating transdisciplinary teams to solve major constraints to production rather than working in isolation on strictly agronomic issues.
Our vision
To lead, conduct and communicate high-quality crop agronomy research to sustainably increase production and profit of farming systems globally.
