Upper North: Time of Sowing and Yield Loss from Frost/Heat Stress (UNF116)

Upper North: Time of Sowing and Yield Loss from Frost/Heat Stress (UNF116)

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.
