Our research is helping to make Australian fields and pastures more drought resilient through improved breeding and crop varieties.

Our farming drought resilience research

Crop management

CSIRO researchers are working to develop improved crop management techniques for maximum economic, environmental and social benefits.

Grains

For over 60 years we’ve been supporting Australia’s grain industry to improve yields, quality and management, and to combat disease.

Machine-learning for crop breeding

We're harnessing genomics and machine-learning to develop crops better adapted to Australian conditions.

Breeding wheat with MAGIC

CSIRO plant scientists are using MAGIC, an innovative technique to increase the speed and efficiency of wheat breeding.

Precision agriculture

Our precision agriculture research is addressing key challenges in a range of farming systems, including viticulture, broadacre cropping, dairy and sugar farming. We're working with industry to develop and refine tools to assess, monitor and redress environmental and economic risks associated with agricultural practices.

Water repellent soils

Water repellent sandy soils are a major problem across the western and southern grain growing regions of Australia. We have found a number of farming practices which improve water management in repellent sandy soils.

WUE Initiative

CSIRO and research partners working on the National Water Use Efficiency (WUE) Initiative have identified ways to improve yield through better WUE, in some cases by as much as 91 per cent.
