NGN Winter wheat agronomy for grain growers in the Western Region

This project will help to answer many questions that growers and advisors have on optimising the performance of winter wheats and how they fit into the farming system. It will also demonstrate potential threats or pitfalls with winter wheat such as weed management, insect management and low soil moisture establishment.

By March 2024, seven winter wheat agronomy demonstration trials and two small plot herbicide trials, will have been established and harvested and the results compiled and reported and successfully extended to local growers and advisers.

The project will include benchmarking of current grower practice and evaluation of potential impact and grower adoption.
