To benchmark yield potential across a range of growing environments in the NGR of NSW, over two consecutive seasons, and to quantify the impact of genotype, management and environment on yield.
A series of 36 treatment combinations (two times of sowing × 18 treatments) were examined in a partially factorial split-plot design, with three replicates at each site

Nitrogen (N) rates: 0, 50, 100, 150 or a 50 + 50 kg N/ha split application all applied as urea (46% N). Treatments were side banded at sowing, apart from the split application, which was applied at sowing and broadcast at stem elongation (GS31). Phosphorous (P) rates: 0, 10, 20 or 30 kg P/ha applied as triple super at sowing. |
