To improve irrigated cereal production through identification of varieties and agronomic practices with superior perfomance under irrigation.
Key messages
Growers should utilise the tools, knowledge and rule of thumb guidleines accessible on GRDc website.
The correct variety should be sown at the correct time for maximum yield potential.
Be prepared to sow early in a suitable paddock, knowing that seasonal conditions can dictate the success of dual purpose crops.
Don't graze too early and remove stock before stem elongation.
