Trial details

Researcher(s) Nigel Wilhelm (SARDI)
Year(s) 2006
Contributor Agriculture Kangaroo Island Incorporated
Trial location(s) MacGillivray, SA
Wheat agronomy at Parndana locations
Aims
  • To identify key ingredients of agronomic packages which deliver high yielding wheat crops with good quality in the Parndana environment.
Key messages
  • This trial showed that under the extremely dry conditions of 2006, wheat yield at this site was largely determined by water supply because major diseases were absent and the soil had abundant nutrients in reserve for the small demands of such a low yielding crop.
