Effect of sowing date on phenology and grain yield of 19 bread wheat and five durum cultivars - Tamworth 2016

This experiment reports the effect of three sowing dates on the timing of anthesis, grain yield and grain quality parameters for a range of commercially available and advanced bread wheat and durum varieties.

The combination of phenology and sowing date (SD) determines the probable timing of environmental stresses (frost and heat stress) at key developmental stages, such as anthesis and during the critical post-flowering grain-fill period. The optimum flowering window is considered an agronomic compromise between avoiding excessive yield loss due to frost and ensuring that flowering occurs early enough to enable a long grain-fill period, before heat and moisture stress restrict yield potential.

Variety response to SD experiments help to determine how new varieties compare in maturity and yield with existing varieties across the sowing window at a regional level. This provides data to better inform growers about varietal response to SD options and therefore to better match variety with SD. Overtime, these experiments provide greater confidence in varietal
performance estimates and flowering behaviour.

Faba bean disease tolerance – Breeza 2016

KEY FINDINGS:

  • To compare the performance of faba bean varieties and advanced breeding lines under different levels of rust pressure.
  • To compare fungicides for their effectiveness to control diseases as well as improve yield and seed size in faba bean. Experiment one used a low frequency (LF) program, while experiment two involved a high frequency (HF) fungicide program.

Conclusions

  • Genotypes differed in there susceptibility to rust, chocolate spot and Stemphylium blight, with one of the northern breeding lines (11NF001a-10) showing rust resistance equal to current commercial varieties and superior chocolate spot resistance. Fungicides were highly effective in reducing rust symptoms and improving leaf retention but in this trial had no effect on chocolate spot. Note that the permit for tebuconazole allows for only three applications of 145ml/ha in commercial crops.

Faba bean fertiliser trial – Spring Ridge 2016

To study the effect of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) application separately and in combination on the growth and yield of faba bean.

This experiment aimed to study the effect of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) application separately and in combination on the growth and yield of faba bean. A small amount of N at sowing might improve yield through faster establishment and groundcover. There is also little local data available on faba bean response to additional P.

Regional crown rot management – Bullarah

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,

Sunflower configuration × population × hybrid – Gurley 2015–16

Optimising sunflower performance relies on being able to match a hybrid with the growing environment and ensuring that the most suitable agronomic management is provided. Suitable crop agronomy involves using the most appropriate row configuration and plant population as well as ensuring adequate nutrition, disease and insect management. This experiment and others conducted in this series were designed to provide recommendations for growers and advisors to support decisions on optimal row configuration, plant population and hybrids for sunflower production in the north-western and Liverpool Plains regions of NSW. These two environments are the primary sunflower growing regions in northern NSW.
