Agronomic drivers of yield in rain fed wheat production systems in Central West NSW - Trangie

To benchmark yield potential across a range of growing environments in the NGR of NSW, over two consecutive seasons, and to quantify the impact of genotype, management and environment on yield.

Evaluation of new soybean varieties for the Macquarie Valley - Trangie Agricultural Research Centre, 2013

Soybean variety evaluation experiments (in collaboration with more variety-specific agronomy experiments) at Trangie Agricultural Research Centre (Trangie ARC) were conducted for three consecutive summer seasons (2013–14, 2014–15 and 2015–16) to assess if new soybean varieties for the Macquarie Valley under irrigated conditions were a suitable option for growers.

Nitrogen response of eight wheat varieties and two sowing times – Trangie 2015

To determine the effect of N application and sowing time on the yield and grain quality of eight popular bread wheat varieties at Trangie in central NSW in 2015.

Nitrogen (N) is the nutrient wheat most needs for growth, development and yield. In recent seasons in Central West NSW there has been a significant trend towards above average yields and very low grain protein levels with more than 30% of grain receivals meeting ASW or lower specifications. Protein levels of <10.5% in a prime hard variety usually indicate that insufficient N levels have not only limited grain protein concentrations, but also yield. Soil testing for N levels before sowing remains an important budgeting tool. It is the most useful indicator within that season if additional applied N is needed to maximise yield and grain protein levels, along with starting soil water and target yield. This trial aimed to determine the effect of N application and sowing time on the yield and grain quality of eight popular bread wheat varieties at Trangie in central NSW in 2015.

Regional crown rot management – Trangie

Crown rot (CR) caused predominantly by the fungus Fusarium pseudograminearum (Fp), remains a major constraint to winter cereal production in the northern grains region. Cereal varieties differ in their resistance to crown rot, which can have a significant affect on their relative yield in the presence of this disease.

This experiment was one of 11 conducted by NSW DPI in 2016 across central/northern NSW extending into southern Qld; to examine the effects from crown rot on the yield and quality of four barley, three durum and 13 bread wheat varieties.

Yield response of 32 bread wheat entries across three sowing dates – Trangie 2016

Sowing date is a key driver of yield and variety performance. The optimum sowing time for an individual variety is a balance between having the variety flower too early and being subjected to frost damage, and conversely having it flower too late and experience prolonged heat stress. Both of these factors can have significant negative impacts on yield.
