Evan Ryan

Nuffield Australia 2009 scholarship winner

Evan Ryan from Yarrawonga, Victoria, receives the 2009 Nuffield Scholarship supported by the Grain Growers Association. He will study the role of soil micronutrients in improving yields from broadacre cereal and oilseed production.

Evan is co-manager of the family farm business with his parents John and Helene. Their 1000ha property ‘Clontarf’ includes 400ha of flood and sprinkler irrigation. They use no-till production systems, continuously cropping cereals, oilseeds, pasture and fodder.

He plans to visit Canada, the USA, South America, Europe and Kenya to investigate micronutrient fertilisation regimes to improve plant growth, vigour and yield, and to improve water-use efficiency.
