Summary

Kym McIntyre and a barley plot.

Growing conditions in northern New South Wales and Queensland are quite different to other barley growing regions of Australia. The crop is often largely grown on moisture stored during the summer season with sporadic in-crop rainfall. The northern cropping zone also tends to have a much shorter winter and harvest may start as early as October in some areas. Therefore selecting a variety known to perform in the region is important. This guide covers variety selection, disease management and a range of other topics.
