Crop sequencing for irrigated double cropping locations
Aims

The project aims to overcome some of the difficulties with double cropping systems (growing a winter and summer crop following one another) and to provide the opportunity for growers to capitalise on their investment in irrigated agriculture. This project considers the issues of herbicide residues; irrigation layouts and management; stubble management; and quantifying achievable crop yield and profitability. 

Key messages
  • The single cropping phase of cotton achieved the highest returns for both $/ha and $/ML.
  • The double cropping treatment of canola and maize achieved the highest returns for $/ha.
  • All double cropping treatments achieved similar returns for $/ML.
