| Other trial notes |
In 2017 a similar VSAP trial was run at the Campbell Town SFS trial site in Tasmania, comparing Planet and Westminster. This trial was funded by Seedforce and is a complement to the trials that have been run as part of the Barley Agonomy Project in SW Victoria. A report on this trial is available in the SFS Tasmania trial results book and will also be accessible through the SFS website. Released to OFT in 2019. |
