Range of spring-summer crops developing in Tasmania

摘要

SPRING sowing of grain crops in Tasmania can offer a number of advantages over an earlier sowing. Frosts at flowering can be devastating on grain yield in many areas of the state in particular for triticale, field peas and chickpeas. Waterlogging during winter - This has resulted in most barley being sown in spring. Leaf diseases can be severe in crops such as barley and field peas when sown in autumn in higher rainfall areas of the state.
