To compare different varieties for dry matter production (DM/ha), recovery from grazing and the impact of grazing on grain yields.
Key messages
Edillilie crops show huge potential to recover from grazing and value add to cereals.
Edillilie crops responded to late N application with higher DM production and grain yield.
Barley was the highest producer of DM at Minnipa.
Two other G&G regions conducted cereal grazing trials - see the "Sharing Info" section of this book.
