Trials 2005

In 2005 our first wheat trial site again looked at 40 Varieties, replicating twenty in order to consider the interaction between a range of strategies looking into the effect of fungicide inputs at different rates, timings and also different manufacturer’s fungicide products.  The trial, as in the previous, included a completely untreated section, against which these strategies could be measured.  We also carried on with our investigation into the effect of late nutrition on grain quality and measured carry over of nutrition in the seed and varietal differences to consider milling potential for E. B. Bradshaw and sons Limited.  
 
The second wheat site looked at 20 varieties investigating traits and their potential as second wheats.  We looked at fungicide strategies regarding second wheat disease profiles, application of late nutrition to investigate grain quality and phosphite timing and rates to control take-all and maximise yield.
