Penny Riffkin (DPI)
Year(s) 2005
Contributor Southern Farming Systems
Trial location(s) Inverleigh, VIC
Wheat phenology trial locations
Aims
  • To determine the impact of sowing date on wheat yield and grain quality across 20 different wheat varieties.
  • To understand how yield and quality is affected by the amount of time spent within the 3 growth stages.
Key messages

The trial demonstrated clearly that late May sowing gave higher wheat yields and better grain quality than late April and early July sowing. Some varieties such as the winter wheat MacKellar went against this trend, with higher yields being achieved with the late April sowing.
