Sheep are an integral part of low-medium rainfall mixed farming systems across southern Australia and they account for 23% of Australia’s total livestock emissions. Apart from the contribution to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, the energy lost as methane represents a significant inefficiency in sheep production systems. Therefore, maintaining or improving the balance between forage and animal productivity, and methane emissions is likely to be a challenge under a warmer and drier climate. The aim of this trial is to evaluate pasture/forage options to fill in the late-spring, autumn and early winter feed gaps; and to measure comparative animal production, feed quality and methane emissions in response to current and improved sheep feeding strategies.

Crown rot (CR) caused predominantly by the fungus Fusarium pseudograminearum (Fp), remains a major constraint to winter cereal production in the northern grains region. Cereal varieties differ in their resistance to crown rot, which can have a significant affect on their relative yield in the presence of this disease.

This experiment was one of 11 conducted by NSW DPI in 2016 across central/northern NSW extending into southern Qld; to examine the effects from crown rot on the yield and quality of four barley, three durum and 13 bread wheat varieties.

Varieties (20)

• Four barley varieties: CommanderA, CompassA, La TrobeA and SpartacusA.
• Three durum varieties: JandaroiA and LillaroiA plus the numbered line 190873.
• Thirteen bread wheat varieties: EGA GregoryA, LRPB FlankerA, BeckomA, CoolahA,
SunmateA, LRPB LancerA, LRPB ReliantA, LRPB GauntletA, LRPB SpitfireA, MitchA,
SuntopA and SunguardA; (listed in order of increasing resistance to crown rot) plus one
numbered line LPB12-0494.
