Break crop species and varieties on yield of wheat, MRZ Mid North (Warnertown), South Australia locations
Aims

To evaluate the effects of break crop species on the yield of subsequent wheat crop.

Key messages

The grain yield of wheat sown after pulses were 300 kg/ha higher on average compared to wheat sown after canola. The yield gap between the canola-wheat rotation and canola-pulse rotation was a result of reduced soil nitrogen levels following harvest of the break crop phase in 2018.
