Cropping of Rice Stubble (April 1967)

IREC

1967

Trials carried out by Mr Warren Muirhead, Research Agronomist, C.S.I.R.0., Griffith, have shown that satisfactory yields of barley can be obtained from crops sown after rice harvest. Irrigation of the crop during the spring is essential to prevent excessive salt accumulation in the root zone in areas with high salty water tables.
