NW NSW Australia | Some trial data for Nth NSW Australia sugests around 5% yield response to inter row sowing in crown rot infected paddocks. There needs to physical seperation of the new plant from any old infected stubble to prevent transmission of the disease. It is thought that by delaying the infection of the new crop there is some lessoning of the yield damage at grain fill.
Crop rotation is still the best way to minimise disease effects, but inter row sowing is a great way to handle stubble loads at sowing time and gives better conditions to plant into between the rows and by retaining stubble more moisture will be retained which would be more important for the new crop. | |
