In 2016 SARDI funded a barley nitrogen trial at Conmurra to value add to the MFMG field day. The trial evaluated a malting barley
(Bass) and a feed barley (Compass) and three different nitrogen regimes.
• SARDI funded and managed a barley nitrogen trial at Conmurra to value add to the MFMG field day.
• A nitrogen response was observed at Conmurra in 2016.
• Bass out-yielded Compass at the two lower N rates.
• Applying 100 kg N/ha to Bass resulted in a similar yield to applying 200 kg N/ha, whilst maintaining maximum grade, MALT 1.
• Compass was highest yielding at 7.0 t/ha and 200 kg N/ha.
• All Compass treatments achieved F1.
