Trial location(s) Badgingarra, WA
Grazing wheat and barley in Badgingarra locations
Aims

To compare Fortune, Wyalkatchem, Wedgetail wheat and Baudin barley as grazing crops.

Key messages
  • Quadrat cuts at the end of July showed that each of the crops produced about 0.5 t/ha dry matter. There were no significant differences between the crops (P< 0.05).
  • Crop yields were generally between 3 and 4 t/ha. Once again, there were no significant differences between varieties and there was no significant effect of grazing on yield (P < 0.05).
  • The ungrazed Baudin was badly affected by mildew.
