Impact of Stubble Height on Fallow Efficiency - Millie locations
Aims

To evaluate the impact of harvest stubble height on fallow efficiency.

Key messages

There were no differences in yield between treatments. Yields for all treatments were in excess of 3.6 t/ha. The crop had compensated for any difference in plant stand. 

In this situation, with a delayed trial establishment and high levels of fallow rainfall, there was no indication of any benefit in fallow efficiency or subsequent crop performance from the stubble retained at stripper harvested height.
