To report on seed quality, nitrogen, screenings and black point in wheat and barley.
Key messages
Seed quality: Check the germination and vigour of seed harvested in 2000, or other weather damaged seed.
Nitrogen: Soil nitrogen levels are likely to be lower in 2001, but will vary depending on summer rainfall, fallow weed control and paddock history.
Screenings: Pinched and small grain can result from drought stress and high temperatures, foliar disease or inappropriate input levels such as excessive early nitrogen, late sowing or poor soil water extraction.
Black Point: Black point in wheat is now thought to result from enzyme reactions during ripening, brought on by environmental stresses.
