Marrar Grazing Wheat Trial 2004

The Marrar Trial is one of several grazing wheat trials being carried out in 2004 by Grain and Graze Murrumbidgee at three sites across the region from Yerong Creek in the south west to Grenfell in the north east.  An agronomy trial involving 6 grazing wheat varieties is being carried out at each of the three sites. Dry matter production, feed value, water use, yield and grain quality are being measured. At Marrar, there is also a grazing wheat prefernce trial, and a grazing whreat animal performance trial.

Further information about these trials, and about Grain and Graze Murrumbidgee can be found in the Project Overview (PDF, 790 kB).

Detailed soil water measurements are being made for 3 treatments in each of two of the four replicate blocks of the agronomy trial at Marrar. These three treatments were chosen to examine the effect of grazing  on one variety of grazing wheat (Wedgetail) and compare it with an ungrazed variety (Diamondbird).
