To provide advice to breeders, researchers, agronomists and growers on the plant characteristics suited to the HRZ.
Both cultivar and N fertilizer had significant effects on grain yield. Cultivar Chara, yielded higher (3.83 t/ha) than Wylah (3.34 t/ha). Yields were related to the number of spikelets per head, stem biomass in October plus total and head biomass in November. N fertilizer also increased yields (3.75 t/ha for 175 kg/ha compared with 3.42 t/ha for Nil N applied) by increasing biomass and green area later into the season and by producing more spikelets
