The project objectives were to
a) evaluate the performance of a dual-purpose wheat variety grazed during one of two different windows (the recommended grazing window and a later-than recommended grazing window)
b) to evaluate the effect of micronutrient foliar application on crop recovery (grain yield) after grazing.
• During 2018, applying foliar micronutrient to a dual purpose wheat crop after grazing helped aid crop recovery and maintained grain yield potential.
