NGN Comparing barley yield gap and pre-harvest losses under water limiting and non-water limiting conditions.
This investment will deliver a series of field trials and extension activities to reduce the yield gap between attainable yield and water limited yield potential in barley in the low – medium rainfall zones alongside virtual trial treatments derived by crop models to determine new attainable yield benchmarks for barley growers.
• Overall yields were lower than expected due to waterlogging experienced on site.
• Yields ranged from 3.73t/ha to 6.22t/ha, with highest yield achieved by RGT Planet.
• There were no yield gains from applying higher rates of N (156kg N/ha soil supply). A fertile farming system is the key to reducing in crop N applications.
• Higher N rates resulted in higher grain protein, but lower test weight and higher screenings.
