Monitoring Program |

|
|
|
| 'Yield Prophet' is to be used as a monitoring tool and assist in setting nitrogen application rate. | Seed testing: 1,000 seed weight and germination | | (Geoff McCallum) | Presowing soil test: water content, NO3, EC, Cl, pH and OC as base requirements for Yield Prophet. | | | | | | (Neil Fettell) | Soil characterisation | | | | (Neil Fettell) | Plant counts early post emergence (1 - 2 leaf stage) | | (CWFS & NSW DPI) | Shoot count at end of tillering | | | | (CWFS & NSW DPI) | Harvest: yield monitor data and grain quality samples from each individual treatment replicate. | | | | | | (Geoff McCallum) | Soil mositure at harvest. | | | | (Neil Fettell) | Rainfall records for trial site. | | | | (Geoff McCallum) |
