The purpose of this experiment was to apply Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) to a high input durum wheat crop to
understand the impact of PGRs on standability and grain protein. The trial also included a variety split within a field
to understand the interaction between durum wheat varieties.
Overall the durum trial showed no significant yield or protein changes from the application of PGRs at Z31. It showed
the difference in variety height suggesting that Mataroi is a good candidate for PGR application to reduce lodging in
a situation where soil constraints are not limiting. PGR applied to Vittaroi showed a ‘slight’ increase in protein and
test weight almost pushing it into DR2 grade.
Two varieties - Mataroi and Vittaroi +/- PGR
PGR treatment applied at Z31 - 0.2l/ha Moddus Evo + 1l/ha Errux by aerial application
