The Upper North Agricultural Region of SA is frequently affected by hot dry springs, significant frost events and unreliable opening rains. Identifying the window of least risk for sowing and increasing the knowledge of the farmers to different wheat phenology will increase profitability and enable management through seasonal variation.
This trip enabled visits to research groups at Texas A&M University, Limagrain Cereal Seeds (LCS) in Colorado and the CIMMYT research centre, Mexico. Industry and research links have been developed which will be beneficial to future research and study outputs.
