Aims

To compare the yields of crops in the southern Mallee under various farming systmes in 2010.

Key messages
  • Long chemical fallow plots achieved record yields in 2010.
  • Rotation was a factor in higher 2010 yields, but the cause of differences is not clear.
  • Pre-sowing soil nitrate was not a good predictor of crop yield potential in 2010.
