To examine the effect of delayed harvest on yield and grain quality of sixteen barley varieties in central west NSW – 2016
• Grain yield and quality was significantly reduced in all varieties when harvest was delayed. Oxford and La TrobeA suffered least yield penalty, while BassA, and FathomA had the greatest yield losses.
• Yield losses and quality downgrades ranged from $75–300/ha in lost revenue in 2016, despite overall low prices and distinction between malt and F1 grades.
