Can flexibility be built into cropping systems for adapting to climate uncertainty? (practical, on ground, farming systems) Presenter: Darshan Sharma  Centre for Cropping Systems Northam, WA This project DAW00202 'Demonstrating adaptation to climate change in the wheatbelt of Western Australia through innovative on-farm and virtual farm approaches' is funded by the  Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia , the  Grains Research and Development Corporation  and the  Australian Government's Climate Change Research Program . WA DAFWA Team:  Caroline Peek, Glen Riethmuller, David Bowran, Doug Abrecht, Geraldine Pasqual, Meredith Fairbanks, David Gray,

Background
Background Challenge How to adapt farming system to   ±   ? We agree Climate is changing/changed In most of the Southwest of WA Temperature:    ± Rainfall  : ↓   ± Source: IOCI
Hypothesis
Hypothesis ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Rationale
1. Plasticity/Stability ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Spike size change : Grain weight change e.g.  Eagle Rock is more stable for Grain weight while Carnamah is more plastic for Grain weight
2. Population structure ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
for example- Population structure ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
3.  Population control High plant density may reduce grain yield in rapidly warming and drying conditions.
