GRDC Cereal Growth Stages Guide (Large: 8MB)
23.09.08
This guide has been produced as part of the GRDC funded project (SFS 00006) examining the role of disease control and canopy management in optimising cereal production in south east Australia. Results are primarily based on information generated in the high rainfall zone in 2003 and 2004, though control sites in the Mallee and Wimmera provided drier environments for comparative data.
The booklet is designed to give growers greater confidence in identifying the important cereal growth stages and how they relate to the principles of disease management and canopy management.
This booklet has been published as part of the technology transfer element of a GRDC funded project (SFS 00006). The guide was put together by Nick Poole from the Foundation for Arable Research (FAR) and his colleagues, with assistance from FAR’s co-workers on the project. These were at Southern Farming Systems (Col Hacking, Dom Bolton, Wes Arnott & Geoff Dean), Birchip Cropping Group/Wimmera Farming Systems/CropFacts (Harm van Rees, Cherie Bell, & Brooke Thompson), the Harden Management. Group (Jim Wright & Peter Hamblin) and the funding of GRDC.
