Optimising barley phenology: flowering response to sowing time in Central West NSW locations
Aims

To determine the phenological response (flowering time) to sowing time for a range of barley varieties.

Key messages
  • Flowering time is determined by plant genetics and interacts with time of sowing and the environment.
  • Matching variety and time of sowing to ensure flowering occurs at an optimal time in spring is critical to maximising yield.
  • Sow longer season varieties mid-April to May and shorter season varieties May to June.
