Summary
This project will be undertaken by SARDI researchers with the optimal flowering period for wheat and barley for the Murray Plains to be refined and validated from previous investment S/UA1021 through field trials and crop modelling. Drone imagery will be used to estimate both plant establishment and biomass of these field trials to help dissect key grain yield drivers independent of flowering time. Drone methods will be further developed from UA217 and UA318 in collaboration with the Unmanned Research Aircraft Facility (URAF).
