Investment

This investment is intended to provide growers with knowledge on the risks and benefits associated using longer coleoptile wheat. The trials focus on better understanding the long coleoptile trait and the impact on time to emergence, soil temperature, planting depth and their combined effect on crop establishment in the targeted environments.

It is also being used as a platform to facilitate grower and adviser discussions on the agronomic, nutrition, farming systems and crop protection (weeds, pest and disease) consideration to guide future research involving long coleoptile wheats.
