Ms Roche is now working as a Post Doctoral Fellow with CSIRO Plant Industry investigating if early competition can be overcome by increasing inputs to the crop early in growth.
“We are comparing row spacings of 38 and 25 centimetres with different plant populations to identify the critical factors driving competition – such as early season water, nitrogen and light use – that may slow early growth in UNR plantings,” she says.
“We aim to be able to make some specific recommendations on row spacings and associated management so farmers can choose the most suitable option for their situation.”
