Barley variety response to grazing and ryegrass locations
Aims

The trial was designed to compare barley variety grain yield response to grazing in the presence of annual ryegrass.

Key messages
  • Grazing had no grain yield impact for all barley varieties in the trial with Hindmarsh yielding the highest (1.54t/ha).
  • There was no significant difference for dry matter produced between varieties.
  • The presence of annual ryegrass decreased the grain yield of Hindmarsh and Urambie by 20% and 42% respectively, but had no impact on Flagship and Maritime grain yields.
