Trial details

Researcher(s) Nick Poole (FAR)
Year(s) 2009
Contributor Hart Field Site Group
Trial location(s) Hart, SA
Wheat row spacing locations
Aims

To improve the nitrogen and water use efficiency of wheat by manipulating canopy size using different row spacing, nitrogen application timing and plant density.

Key messages
  • Nitrogen applied during stem elongation significantly improved grain yield and protein.
  • The higher density crop produced greater yields for both row spacings.
  • There was little difference in grain yield between the row spacings.
