Contributor North East Farming Futures
Trial location(s) Yuna, WA
Yuna trial results - frost locations
Aims

To determine if any specific treatments reduced the impact of frost.

Key messages
  • There have been findings that Wyalkatchem is generally more frost prone than other varieties.
  • If you are cropping a high frost risk area, good management would suggest minimising input costs (e.g. fertiliser) in these areas.
  • Due to the large LSD there were no statistically different treatments. However there seems to be a trend that the lower seeding rate improved yield.
  • There was no significant yield difference between retaining stubble and burning the stubble at both seeding rates.
