Call for Wheat Growth Guide and Barley Growth Guide

Introduction

The first edition of the Wheat growth guide was published in 1997 and the Barley growth guide followed in 2006. The Wheat growth guide was updated in 2008 and the design of both guides was refreshed in 2015.

The two guides provide growers, agronomists, students and researchers with a common set of benchmarks against which they can compare their own observations of crop growth and development. They explain the process of yield formation and how to estimate potential yields, while providing information on best practice crop husbandry and why there are differences in regional variety performance and suitability.
