To evaluate commercially available Foliar applied stubble breakdown products.
Within this trial, there was only a significant difference between two treatments for yield, within all 11 products applied. MV Breakdown was the highest yielding treatment at 2.995t/ha vs the 750ml/ha rate of Stubble Aid, which was the lowest yielding treatment at 2.623t/ha. All other treatments were not statistically different for yield.
All in-crop monitoring of stubble breakdown products showed that there was no significant difference within any of the treatments when compared to the control (Data being held at Melbourne University).
