2013 Loveland Agri Products Trial Data Billa Billa, QLD Barley Seed Treatment Trial

Trial Setup Fully randomised & replicated plot work (4) Plot size = 10 m X 2 m = plot totalling area of 20 m²/plot Treatments applied – to seed SFP = Standard Farmer Practice = Dividend @ 1.3L/T Urea applied pre plant @ 100kg/ha

Trial Protocol Treatment Timing SFP = (standard fungicide treatment) ---- SFP + Awaken ST@ 3.75 L/T ST SFP + Consensus @ 300 mL/T SFP + Awaken ST@ 3.75 L/T + Consensus @ 300 mL/T Untreated (bare seed) Awaken ST@ 3.75L/T Consensus @ 300 mL/T Awaken ST@ 3.75 L/T + Consensus @ 300 mL/T

Barley Yield T/ha Treatment Timing Yield T/ha SFP = (standard fungicide treatment) ---- 2.17 SFP + Awaken ST@ 3.75 L/T ST 2.64 SFP + Consensus @ 300 mL/T 2.31 SFP + Awaken ST@ 3.75 L/T + Consensus @ 300 mL/T 2.53 Untreated (bare seed) 2.34 Awaken ST@ 3.75L/T 2.52 Consensus @ 300 mL/T 2.35 Awaken ST@ 3.75 L/T + Consensus @ 300 mL/T 2.29 LSD (p=.05) = .447 CV = 12.68

Barley Yield T/ha LSD (p=.05) = .447 CV = 12.68

Barley Yield T/ha LSD (p=.05) = .447 CV = 12.68

Barley Yield T/ha LSD (p=.05) = .447 CV = 12.68

Billa Billa Rainfall 2012 Total = 375 mm 2013 Total = 521 mm mm

Conclusions Awaken ST @ 3.75L/T either with a fungicide seed treatment or on bare seed has performed the best in this trial demonstrating value for money in Barley.
