Abstract

  • In field trials, crown rot incidence was often lower and grain yield higher in the wheat variety Emu Rock compared with the variety Mace and the durum wheat variety Kalka.
  • An advantage (up to 11% reduction in crown rot infected main tillers) is gained from sowing “off-row” (between the previous season’s rows of wheat stubble) compared to sowing “on-row” (directly into the previous season’s wheat rows).
