Key messages
Weed effects
The nil herbicide treatment had significantly higher numbers of ryegrass plants than other treatments. The treatments with the least ryegrass plants were Sakura, Sakura + Avadex Xtra, and Sakura + TriflurX.
Yield and Quality
The mean yield for hte Lake Bolac trial was 6.34 t/ha, and 8.2 t/ha at the Inverleigh site in 2010.
The herbicide treated plots averaged 6.4 t/ha at Lake Bolac, and 8.3 t/ha at Inverleigh, which is significantly higher than the no herbicide treatment.
There is an inverse relationship between the number of ryegrass plants present in the plot and the yield.
No observed climate data available for this trial. Derived climate data is
determined from trial site location and national weather sources.
