Does temperature affect variety and N decisions? locations
Aims

To develop guidelines to manage the 3-way interaction between N, variety and sowing date.

Key messages

• Nitrogen fertiliser decisions need to take into account variety and sowing date.
• Yield losses may reach up to 0.67 t/ha per °C during the critical period (20 days before to 10 days after flowering) for yield determination.

Sow date 13/5/17 and 14/5/18; 26/5/17 and 27/5/18; 9/6/17 and 24/6/18; 23/6/17 and 10/7/18
Harvest date Unknown
Plot size 1.75m x 6m and 2m x 15m

Fertiliser

Three fertiliser rates (50, 100 and 200 kg N/ha) applied as urea. Nitrogen application was split in 50% at early tillering and 50% just before stem elongation.
