Contributor Riverine Plains
Trial location(s) Burraja, NSW
Third crop work gives results locations
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.
