2020 Hyper Yielding Crops Field Day (Tasmania)
Due to current covid-19 restrictions, numbers are limited and registration is compulsory. Registration is open to residents of Tasmania only.
As part of the new GRDC funded Hyper Yielding Crops (HYC) initiative, FAR Australia invites you to come along and view the HYC research trials in spring sown barley located at FAR Australia’s Tasmania Crop Technology Centre. The new collaborative research effort forms part of a wider aim looking to push the yield boundaries of cereal and oilseed cropping across HRZ regions of five states: Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, New South Wales and Western Australia.
The field day will provide you with an opportunity to view a series of spring sown barley research trials aimed at maximising productivity. Of all the regions in Australia this crop has the strongest fit with irrigated cropping rotations in Tasmania. Not only does it offer greater opportunities for integration with winter fodder crops grown for livestock it is invariably cheaper to grow than autumn sown barley and allows more flexibility in controlling herbicide resistant grass weeds.
Due to the recent changes to Tasmania’s border restrictions, Dr. Kenton Porker and Tara Garrard from SARDI are now unable to attend this event. Nick Poole and Darcy Warren will be on hand to discuss their respective topics. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Please register your attendance with Rachel Hamilton, Event Coordinator.
