Aims

To answer the question 'Can we manage inputs in-crop that will yield well in a good season whilst also maintaining yields and keeping costs down in poorer seasons?'.

Key messages

Climate variability or climate change? Whatever the situation we face we need to be prepared to respond quickly to temperature and rainfall extremes with better in-crop management decisions.
