Grain growers will have the knowledge and understanding of how differing stubble architectures contribute value to their farming system, understand the differing costs involved, acknowledge the risk/reward profile and use this knowledge to apply the step changes required for profitability.
Key messages
Strip and disc system yielded the least out of all treatments in 2023.
Striper stubble may have provided protection to the growing crop which led to a longer flowering period in a hot finish.
Less weeds were present in the disc seeding system in comparison to the tyne seeder.
