This trial compares the hay yield, hay quality and grain yield of Kingbale standalone, and with the application of Sentry® IBS (incorporated by sowing) compared to Wintaroo, a commonly grown oat variety.
• Wintaroo and Kingbale yielded similarly for oaten hay production at Hart in 2021, producing 3.89 and 3.91 t/ha, respectively.
• No yield penalty was observed for Kingbale with the application of Sentry® IBS, at 50 g/ha.
• Kingbale (+/- Sentry®) produced the highest grain yield, ranging from 1.49 – 1.59 t/ha.
• In 2021, hay quality was similar for Wintaroo and Kingbale (+/- Sentry®) across crude protein (%), neutral detergent fibre (% aNDFom), acid detergent fibre (% ADF) and water-soluble carbohydrates (% WSC).
