Key messages
  • Adveco D, DZ and MAX all recorded grain yield higher (3-5%) than MAP at 50 kg/ka.
  • At three rates of MAP (50, 100 and 150 kg/ha) grain yield was higher in MAP plus Adveco Type W treatments compared to MAP without Adveco Type W.
  • Plant vigour at Z31 and Z39 of Adveco D, DZ MAX was similar to MAP at 50 kg/ha.
  • Adveco products had no detrimental effect on plant establishment and are safe to use on wheat.
