To evaluate the responses of seven barley cultivars to three times of sowing (TOS): early, mid and late and assess their suitability to the Wimmera Mallee.
whilst the time of sowing can strongly influence yield, the advantages of early sowing may be reduced if establishment is compromised. later sowing (23 June) reduced yield in all varieties except Wimmera, the average reduction being 0.8t/ha compared to sowing on either 26 April or 17 May. avoid dry sowing into paddocks with known weed burdens
