Biography
Dr Julianne Lilley is Team Leader of the Integrated Agric Modelling & Decisions team within Agriculture and Food which develops and uses soil, crop, pasture and livestock models in a farming systems context for application in agricultural research across Australia and internationally. Julianne is a crop scientist with over 25 years research experience in crop physiology. Her research has included climate change impacts, crop root system function, crop water-use efficiency, dual-purpose cropping, whole-farm productivity and resource protection. She applies crop physiological understanding embedded within crop simulation models to greatly expand the outcomes of experiments and draw robust conclusions about the impacts of agricultural management decisions.
She is currently leads research investigating farm management practices which optimise profitability of canola, understanding environmental triggers and the underlying genetic control of flowering in canola, and developing the Yield Gap Australia website, a tool developed at CSIRO to inform policy makers and grain producers of the gap between potential and actual yields from local to national scale.
Previous work contributed significantly to the GRDC (Grains Research and Development Corporation) funded National Water-Use Efficiency Initiative, which was awarded a CSIRO Medal for Research Impact and the prestigious Eureka Prize for Sustainable Agriculture in 2014.
