Aims

To investigate early sown wheats in the Junee Reefs and Rankins Springs areas.

Key messages
  • If sowing before 20 April, winter wheats (Wedgetail, Wylah, Whistler, Osprey) are at lower risk of stem frost damage than slow maturing spring wheats.
  • Keep spring wheats within 507 days of their opitmal sowing date.
  • Be prepared tgo back-up imidacloprid treated seed with foliar insecticides if aphids are persisting in autumn.
