The experiences of the 2008 irrigated wheat season were reported on at the Goondiwindi update in 2009 (Peake and Angus, 2009). The findings from these experiments are reported here, along with some preliminary yield and water use benchmarks for irrigated wheat. Following the widespread lodging in 2008, a number of on-farm trials were run in 2009 to assess the best agronomic strategies to decrease lodging risk. The Achievable Yields project is aiming to set yield and water use benchmarks for irrigated wheat in the northern region, while also helping growers address the main agronomic challenges that prevent them from maximising grain yield.
