cereal yield

During the first field trip (August 2), Prof Tuberosa visited three different experimental sites near Adelaide where a number of new experimental materials were being evaluated alongside already released varieties... During the second field trip (August 22), he visited three different farms where durum is grown and an experimental site where new materials were being evaluated for their agronomic performance... As a member of the steering and program committee of InterDrought-III (October 10-14, 2009, Shanghai, China,) and in view of the strong interest in drought-related research at ACPFG, the inclusion of Prof Mark Tester in the scientific committee of InterDrought-III has been suggested...

Consider rhizoctonia seed treatments to boost cereal yields.. Daniel says the take home messages from the trials are that in-furrow banding of fungicide 2-3cm below the seed can provide protection to crop seminal roots and surface banding behind the press wheel can protect the crown roots... Daniel says there are some promising fungicide banding treatment options for rhizoctonia in the pipeline that performed well in the trials...

The aim of the work was to identify agronomic management practices that enabled triticale to express its full genetic potential for competitive growth against the vigorous weedy competitor Lolium rigidum ... Given the competitive growth habit of triticale, the aim of the present work was to identify the agronomic management practices that enable the genetic potential for competitive growth to be expressed phenotypically... Most of the experiments evaluating the effect of row spacing and level of cultivation in cereals have been performed on wheat there is little data specifically for triticale...

Moddus Evo was assessed for reduction of lodging in wheat at a range of rates and at different timings (Figure 1)... A range of rates of Moddus Evo were assessed for reduction of lodging and enhancement of yield in barley (Figures 2a and b)... Conversely during the course of the evaluation of Moddus Evo on the yield enhancement and reduction in lodging there were a few trials with anomalous results, where Moddus Evo application did not improve yield...

Although row spacing is a relatively simple thing to change, the effect on the whole farm system can be complex and can influence yield, time of sowing, machinery, herbicide, and seed and fertiliser costs, as well as the types of crops sown... Doubling the row spacing from 18 to 36cm resulted in a two per cent loss in yield in barley and a five per cent loss in wheat... Wider row spacing increases the concentration of nutrients per metre of row if the rate per hectare is maintained...

Early research on recently released bread and durum wheat varieties suggests some new varieties may have a more stable yield across wider row spacing... The best results are achieved with row spacings of 30cm or more and using +/-2cm accuracy guidance and autosteer... To establish soil nutrient status in systems using wider row spacing a modified approach to soil sampling is suggested...
