To examine the yield potential of new winter and spring germplasm grown under HYC Management packages against spring and winter controls in the traditional late April/early May sowing window.
Significant variability in yields were likely due to frost events around flowering and some head loss.
Evidence of early flowering and grain fill cold stress is reflected in lower test weights.
Yields ranged from 5.5-7t/ha more exploration into the variability needs to be conducted and reliable conclusions cannot be established from the data.
Similar yields achieved between early and late flowering cultivars.
Rotation position: 1st Cereal after canola, 2019 Hay oats, 2018 canola, 2017 wheat
Soil type: Forest gravel loam
