Aims
To examine the cereal crop options that could be used after wheat including another wheat crop or growing barley or triticale.
To start examining packages for maximising yield from these crops.
Key messages
The application of N increased yields of all cereals grown on a wheat stubble.
The application of fungicides controlled leaf diseases in wheat and barley, and increased the grain yield of wheat.
