The aim of this trial was to determine the effect of grazing (cutting) on grain yield of early sown wheat and triticale in comparison with uncut treatments.
There was little effect on grain yield from the cutting treatments in Mackellar whereas cutting resulted in an 18% reduction in yield of
Breakwell.
