Irrigation research updates 2009

IREC, in conjunction with the GRDC series of Grains Research Updates, hosts an annual seminar day for farmers' to hear about the latest research relevant to irrigated agriculture.

The Irrigation Research Update Program is prepared in conjunction with local and regional farmer organisations. GRDC supports the Grains Research Updates, as they provide an ideal platform for its research partners to outline and discuss new research information.
