Using modern sensor technology high levels of data can now be gathered from crops as they grow. This 2016 report explores how this data can be assessed to gain a greater understanding of productivity in different parts of a paddock. This project is a crucial step towards site specific crop management for the potato industry.

Crops grown on Kransnozems (also known as ferrosols) often had high levels of phosphorus fertiliser applied. This 2002 report explores different ways of applying phosphorus fertiliser to a crop in order to reduce fertiliser use. Different Fertiliser forms and interactions with irrigation were applied over the three year project.
