Matter Production

In southern New South Wales, Australia, grazing wheat during the vegetative and early reproductive growth stages (typically during winter) can provide a valuable contribution of high quality feed during a period of low pasture growth. This paper reports results from a series of experiments investigating the agronomic management of grazed wheats in southern NSW. The effect of sowing date and grazing on dry matter production and subsequent grain yield of a range of wheat cultivars was measured in five experiments in 2004 and 2005. In all experiments, results were compared with ungrazed spring wheat (cv. Diamondbird). Grain yield of the best winter cultivar was either the same or significantly greater than the spring cultivar in each of the five experiments. Within the winter wheat cultivars, there was significant variation in grain yield, protein content and screenings, depending on site and year with the cultivar Marombi out-yielding all others. Interestingly, this cultivar usually had the least dry matter post-grazing but the greatest dry matter by anthesis of the winter wheats. Generally, if sowing of the winter wheat was delayed, then the effects on yield were small or non-existent. The results are discussed with respect to the benefits of incorporating grazing cereals into cropping programs in the medium rainfall zone of southern Australia.

New Cultivars

Genetic yield gains have been difficult to achieve within the Canada Western Red Spring (CWRS) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) class because of stringent quality requirements and a short growing-season environment with low precipitation and high temperatures. Understanding the physiological basis of yield gains may provide breeders with better insight in selecting parents and screening tools to identify desirable genotypes. The objective of the present study was to compare four new CWRS wheat cultivars with two older cultivars, Neepawa and Marquis, for yield components and dry matter production. When grown at Swift Current, SK, for 3 yr, the average yield for the group of new cultivars was 34.3% higher than that of Marquis (P < 0.01), and 5.9% higher than that of Neepawa (P = 0.10). The new cultivars, as a group, had significantly increased kernel weight, kernels per spike, yield per spike, and spike-filling rate relative to either of the older cultivars. When cultivars were compared individually, all four of the new cultivars had significantly higher yield per spike and spike-filling rate than Neepawa or Marquis, suggesting that these factors may be closely related to the increased yields of the newer cultivars. The trend toward higher kernel weight and kernels per spike suggests that the new cultivars have increased the sink size of each tiller. The number of spikes per plant and the length of the grain-filling period do not appear to be associated with the increased yield. Harvest index of the group of new cultivars, while significantly higher than that of Marquis, has not increased significantly compared to Neepawa, probably because this group is similar in height to Neepawa.

Limited Moisture

Corn was superior to wheat in water use efficiency (WUE) calculated by using total dry matter production. Manitou wheat under adequate soil moisture was more efficient in water use than Pitic 62 or Wascana wheats. All wheat cultivars showed improved WUE with limited moisture. Sunflowers were the most adaptive species at changing WUE in response to available moisture.Key words: Water use efficiency

Net Assimilation

The relationship between trifluralin dosages detected in the soil at seeding, initial crop injury, and subsequent recovery of spring wheat during the growing season was investigated in field experiments in 1986 and 1987. As the amount of trifluralin in the soil increased, both crop density and dry matter production decreased such that at 1 kg/ha the two were reduced by 37 and 50%, respectively, early in the season. As the season progressed, crop growth rates (CGRs) of wheat in trifluralin-treated plots exceeded those of wheat in the untreated plots. Maximum CGRs occurred between Zadok's growth stages 30 and 45 where trifluralin levels in the soil were 0.3 to 0.5 kg ai/ha at seeding. Recovery from trifluralin injury was characterized by enhanced net assimilation rates of surviving plants, increased tillering and greater dry matter production per plant. Wheat seed yield was only weakly correlated with trifluralin levels in the soil at seeding. From a linear regression model it was determined that a 35% reduction in plant dry weight from the trifluralin injury at the beginning of tillering would result in no more than a 10% reduction in seed yield at final harvest.
