Trial details

Researcher(s) John Sykes (John Sykes Rural Consulting)
Year(s) 2006
Contributor Riverine Plains
Trial location(s) Balldale, NSW
Barley maximum yield experiment locations
Aims

To assess the level of input required to maximise yields of barley grown after wheat.

Key messages
  • Barley responded to inputs of nitrogen, buy responded to variably to fungicide.
  • 20- 40 kg N was reqired to maximise yield.
  • Where there was an N response, fungicide also gave an additional response.
