Kelley Whisson (CSIRO)
Year(s) 2004
Contributor Liebe Group
Trial location(s) Buntine, WA
Wheat yield and quality in Western Australian sandplain farming systems locations
Aims

To examine the potential for crop yield in the northern sandplain systems and explore practices that will allow the potential to be approached

Key messages
  • The legume rotations increased wheat yields in the following crop by 1t/ha.
  • Ripping gave a higher benefit after the legume rotations than non-legume rotations.
  • No significant adverse effect on screenings was detected in the higher yielding treatments.
