Rice Breeding Australia Field Day

Aerial view of a large, rectangular agriculture field with neatly arranged rows and patches of green crops, creating a geometric pattern. Some areas appear shaded and some plots are a lighter green.

Join Rice Breeding Australia at their inaugural Field Day on Tuesday, 4 March 2025.

Learn about the latest breeding developments, new varieties, and cutting-edge techniques RBA is using to shorten timeframes and improve breeding outcomes

This work is core to our commitment to the long-term future of the Australian rice industry, focused on delivering water productivity and genetic gain improvements for growers.

Starting at 8.30am, hear from the Rice Breeding Australia team and our research partners as we tour the plots. A coffee van will be on site, and our tour will conclude with a delicious brunch at around 10.30am.

If you have a question, please contact Georgina Pengilley on 0428 953 045 or .
