Aims

In 2016 SARDI funded a wheat nitrogen trial at Conmurra to value add to the MFMG field day. The trial evaluated nine different
nitrogen rates and application timings.

Key messages
  • SARDI funded and managed a wheat nitrogen trial at Conmurra to value add to the MFMG field day.
  • A nitrogen response was observed at Conmurra in 2016.
  • Split applications of 200 kg N/ha and 250 kg N/ha resulted in higher grain yields and grain reaching maximum grade.
