Evaluation of dual purpose cereal varieties

To assess dual purpose wheat, barley, triticale and oat varieties for DM production, recovery from grazing and grain yield. A further aim was to compare dry matter and feed quality of cereals with a tetraploid annual ryegrass used for over‐winter grazing prior to seed production.

Increased management flexibility with late grazing of dual purpose wheat under irrigation

The aim of this trial was to determine potential grain yield loss from a late grazing (cutting) relative to the increased grazing production.

Optimal plant density and the effect of grazing on grain yield of early sown wheat

To compare grain yields of early sown wheat with grazed (cut) wheat sown at the same time and that sown at a more traditional time, May. A further aim was to compare a commercial plant density for dual purpose and grain‐only production with reduced rates comparable to that used for early sowing in the UK.
