Abstract
To develop the management system for very early sown wheat crops in the central wheat belt of Western Australia.
Trial 90EB34 and 90EB35
Location: East Beverley Annex.
90EB34 3 times of sowing at fortnightly intervals after the 9th April, with 8 varieties of wheat.
90EB35, 4 times of sowing at fortnightly intervals after the 23rd April with 9 varieties of wheat.
Trial 90No77 - 90NO80
Location: York
Each time of sowing has a separate trial number, 90NO77 TOS 1, 90NO78 TOS 2, 90NO79 TOS 3 and 90NO80 TOS 4.
Trial 90NO81
Location: Goomalling
TREATMENTS: - 3 times of sowing 25/4/90, 31/5/90, 13/6/90 with 9 varieties of wheat (see below).
Fertilizers were 104 kg/ha of Super, drilled, and 104 kg/ha Urea topdressed IBS. - All times of sowing received 35 g/ha Logran (R) IBS and Sprayseed was used as the knockdown where needed.
The first time of sowing was severely sand blasted on 2 occasions, rep 3 suffered the least damage of all.
Trial 90NO84 - 90NO86
Location: Grass Valley
TREATMENTS: - 3 times of sowing 27/4/90, 28/5/90, 11/6/90 with 9 varieties of wheat (see below).
Fertilizers were 154 kg/ha Super, drilled, and 104 kg/ha Urea, topdressed IBS. - All times of sowing received 35 g/ha Logran (R) IBS.
Very patchy germination in the 1st time of sowing and grubs (cut worm and/or web worm) may have thinned the plant density considerably.
Trial 90NO87-90NO89
Location: Wyalkatchem
TREATMENTS: - 3 times of sowing 24/4/90, 13/6/90, 22/6/90 with 9 varieties of wheat (see below).
All times of sowing received 35 g/ha Logran (R) IBS and Sprayseed (R) was used as the knockdown where required.
All times of sowing received 104 kg/ha Super, drilled and 104 kg/ha Urea topdressed IBS.
Trial 90NO90-90NO92
Location: Wyalkatchem
TREATMENTS: - 3 times of sowing 24/4/90, 7/6/90, 22/6/90 with 9 varieties of wheat (see below).
All times of sowing received 104 kg/ha Super, drilled, and 104 kg/ha Urea topdressed IBS.
Sprayseed was used as the knockdown on all times of sowing and all times of sowing received 35 g/ha Logran (R) IBS.
Trial 90NO123
Location: Cunderdin Agricultural College.
TREATMENTS: 3 times of sowing 8/6/90, 19/6/90, 29/6/90 with 3 varieties of wheat, Spear, Aroona and Kuhn. The trial was an unreplicated design using 1 ha plots sown with a 20 run culti-trash. Seed rate of 65 kg/ha was used with 100 kg/ha of Super drilled with the seed and 100 kg/ha Urea topdressed IBS or IAS. 35 g/ha of Logran (R) was applied IBS at each time of sowing.
