Genotype selection and management strategies for exploitation of responses to high planting densities : SRDC final report BS137S
(1999) Bull, JK; Bull, TA
The objectives of this project were to: evaluate the potential for high density planting (close row spacings) to increase yields over a range of conditions; assess the genetic potential available to exploit higher planting density in the current breeding population; examine alternate row spacing strategies suited to grower farming systems and constraints (including irrigated and dry land); assess the potential ratoon yields from close row crops (by hand harvesting); encourage grower interest and participation in longer term activities to develop procedures and equipment to support close row management systems; analyse the economic cost/benefit from adopting higher planting density.
