• By March 2024, winter wheat agronomy demonstration trials, will have been established and harvested and the results successfully extended to local growers and advisers.
• The project will include benchmarking of current grower practice and evaluation of potential impact and grower adoption.
• This project will help to answer many questions that growers and advisors have on optimising the performance of winter wheats and how they fit into the farming system.
• Grazing wheat penalised grain yield regardless of variety.
• Illabo wheat yielded the least in both the grazed and ungrazed treatments.
• Where there is no moisture or opportunity to sow a winter wheat, waiting to sow a spring wheat was more profitable.
