Aims

The primary aim of the ‘Yardstick’ project is to conduct a series of agronomic demonstrations in wheat and barley that will assist growers in making crop type (wheat or barley), varietal and nitrogen decisions.

Key messages

• Variety choice is ultimately the driver of yield. 

• Nitrogen rate responses were observed in Corrigin and Merredin in both wheat and barley. 

• Wheat generally showed higher yield results in a dry season compared with the barley.
