Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Simulated mean wheat yields exceeded 6 t/ha at most locations.
- Observation Highest simulated mean grain yields (8–10 t/ha) occurred in southern Victoria.
- Observation Lower simulated yields (5–7 t/ha) occurred in south-west Western Australia and in central and northern New South Wales.
- Intervention effect Winter cultivars sown early gave 2–3 times more grazing days than spring cultivars, with 1700–3000 DSE-days/ha.
- Intervention effect Each 1-week delay in sowing after 8 March reduced grazing by 200–250 DSE-days/ha.
- Association A lower frequency of early sowing opportunities is likely to limit the potential to use winter cultivars in Mediterranean climates.
- Observation Significant national potential exists for dual-purpose use of winter wheat cultivars across Australia’s HRZ.
