Stubble management and retention

Managing stubbles post-harvest is an ongoing issue that growers deal with every year in their cropping rotation. OFT contains more than 400 trials on stubble retention, management and benefits. There are over 180 published stubble management trials for wheat, 40 for barley and 35 for canola. There is also a set of more than 160 trials spanning five years from the GRDC-initiative, Maintaining profitable farming systems with retained stubble available on OFT. This set of trials includes details on harvest efficiency, stubble breakdown options, cropping sequences to manage stubble loads, sowing configurations and associated costs, and grazing and weed management strategies.

For access to additional, up-to-date information and advice on stubble management and retention, refer to these articles from the most recent GroundCover Supplement Issue:

For further details on latest stubble management strategies and trials, refer to these GRDC Update Papers:
