The aim of this trial was to compare the emergence, growth and yielf of small and large seed size Yitpi wheat.

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.

The aim of this experiment was to develop disease response curves indicating potential yield losses for a selection of varieties that represent various resistance categories for YLS.

This was the second year of a three-year trial, funded by the South Australian Grains Industry Trust (SAGIT), to evaluate the nitrogen fixation capabilities of various legume species commonly grown on Kangaroo Island.

In this second year, the trial was set up to answer the following questions:

• Which of the four legume species had fixed the most nitrogen (N) in the 2016 season?
• How much N did these legume crops fix?
• How much of the N fixed by the legume was utilised by the following crop? Concurrently, how much N was lost through leaching or denitrification?

The aim of the ‘Yardstick’ project is conduct agronomy demonstrations that will enable growers to reduce crop selection risk through better understanding of crop performance with different crop types/varieties, timings of sowing and nutrition.

Regional specific agronomy has been identified as a need by growers in RCSN Open Local Forums, in particular in using regional specific agronomy demonstrations to assist decision making of growers.

The aim of this project was to use best district practice to examine if newer varieties respond differently to increasing nutritional inputs and whether this can be exploited by growers.

This was done by measuring crop performance with different sowings times and nutrition regimes, representing different decision-making scenario's depending on budget and seasonal rainfall.

This information should then assist grower’s decisions with variety specific agronomic management.
