Aims:
There appears to be renewed interest from growers and the agricultural community in legume break crops to complement canola and cereals in the rotation. For example in the Esperance region a number of farmers bulked up lentil seed in 2016 in anticipation of sowing larger areas in 2017. This paper summarises some of the experiments conducted in 2… read more

Compare the yield responses of wheat varieties sown at three sowing dates (9 April, 23 April and 12 May) and two plant densities.
Aims:
To test the effect of compacted inter-rows on water harvesting, production and profitability in a low rainfall wheatbelt environment.
Aims:
Aims:
Growers in medium to low rainfall regions are keen to grow oats as a break crop, either for hay or as a profitable grain crop; however, there is a need to identify management inputs and varieties that consistently meet quality specifications. Currently there is considerable interest in the high yielding milling oat varieties Bannister and Willia… read more
