- Intervention effect Barley sown in April produced a lower yield than barley sown in mid-winter, under both well-watered and water stress conditions.
- Intervention effect Chickpea in the irrigated control had its lowest yield in the July sowing at Redland Bay.
- Intervention effect Chickpea under water stress produced its lowest yield at Hermitage.
- Intervention effect Water stress severely reduced crop growth of chickpea after flowering.
- Intervention effect Early-maturing Corvette barley produced a higher grain yield than late-maturing Triumph in one water stress trial with a 40-day maturity difference.
- Intervention effect Corvette did not out-yield Triumph in the trials where the maturity difference was less than 15 days.
- Observation In most crops, water stress developed slowly during early stages of growth.
- Intervention effect Water stress had a large effect on light use efficiency.
- Intervention effect For chickpea sown in April, water stress severely reduced light interception.
- Intervention effect For chickpea sown in April, water stress had little adverse effect on light use efficiency.
- Association Whether water stress affects light interception or light use efficiency depends on the timing of water stress relative to canopy development.
