Aims
To develop agronomic packages and seeding technology solutions which can allow for increased stubble retention practices, thereby reducing the dependence on burning.
Key messages
The Winchelsea site, sown in late April to Amarok red wheat, had yield variations across the site, with highest yielding plots reaching 3t/ha. These plots although nearest the shelter belts, were the stubble incorporated treatments. In comparison, where incorporation did take place with either the addition of chook manure or biological applications, there was a reduced yield of up to 0.6t/ha. Burning at this site yielded 2.33t/ha, being the lowest output for this site
