By 2023, growers will have increased the value of the cropping phase in the HRZ farming system by 10% by addressing both crop yield potential and the gap between potential and realised yields.
• Matching a wheat variety maturity to the growing season length was critical to maximising yields at West Cranbrook and South Stirlings
• Long-season wheats (winter-types) sown mid-April can yield equivalently to Scepter wheat sown in mid-May in the high rainfall zone of WA.
• Deep ripping on South Stirlings sand plain showed a yield increase of 370kg/ha which closed the gap between the harvested yield and the water-limited yield potential (WLYP) by 8%.
• Barley yielded more than wheat at both trial sites and was closer to the WLYP. Barley was more profitable at the South Stirlings trial but not the West Cranbrook site.
