Aims

The trial aims to explore rotational options for the South-East region with the aim of improving yield and water use efficiency of these and the subsequent crops.

Key messages

• 2 seasons after the break crop being planted, significant yield benefits from the break crop are still being observed
• Significant interactions between the nitrogen requirements of wheat after the break crop were observed again in 2013 (also noted in 2012)
• Splitting nitrogen treatments after wheat and canola resulted in significant yield increases when compared to a single nitrogen application
