Wheat agronomy trial locations
Aims

To assess the yields of a range of agronomic treatments on wheat varieties at different sites.

Key messages
  • In 2010 we saw little effect of varying nitrogen rates on grain yield at Conmurra or Frances .
  • Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus decreased grain yield by about 1 t/ha at both sites in 2010.
  • Highest grain yield was achieved by the earlier sowing dates but very good disease control was required to achieve this.
