To assess the impact of grazing and plant growth regulation on durum wheat sown in late May.
• Grazing was effective in reducing crop height, but resulting grain yield was lowest in the trial, although it was not significantly different to the untreated control.
• Treatments did vary in their effect on lodging, but increased lodging did not necessarily result in decreased yield.
• Highest yield was from treatment 3 (split application of Errex 750 @ 0.65 l/ha + Moddus Evo @ 0.1 l/ha applied at GS30 and GS32) which was also the most effective treatment for reducing lodging.
• The application of the micronutrients manganese and copper had no effect on lodging.
• All PGR treatments did not influence grain protein, screenings or test weight.
