Tags: biomass | grazing | high rainfall | low rainfall | medium rainfall | New in 2024 | phenology | research funding | SARDI
Summary
The project aims to better understand the plant characteristics, including phenology and architecture, required to maximise biomass production for barley in grazed, grain and opportunistic grain and grazed scenarios across variable rainfall seasons. A diverse set of elite and novel varieties will be tested by different simulated grazing treatments across low, medium and high rainfall zones of South Australia.
