New advice for western sorghum growers

摘要

THE bid to identify improved summer crop options for regions west of the Newell Highway in northern NSW has yielded new data on dryland sorghum plant populations and row configurations. Loretta Serafin, NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) district agronomist and Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) northern panelist, Tamworth says variable sorghum yields are a major challenge for western region growers. "Two years of research funded by GRDC, NSW DPI and Pacific Seeds has putgrowers a step closer to ensuring key planting decisions are based on specific recommendations for the western region," Loretta said.
