Using CA to improve water use efficiency in wheat crops on the Branson farm in SA. Mark Branson
- 1. Using Conservation Agriculture to improve water use efficiency in wheat crops on the Branson farm in South Australia. Mark Branson (B.AppSc (Agric), 2005 Nuffield Scholar,)
- 2. The Branson’s Family Farm Area: 1200ha Stockport Lower North of South Australia Rainfall: 425mm to 525mm Dryland Farming System
- 3. Stockport
- 4. Crops Grown (80%) - Durum and Bread Wheat - Malting Barley - Canola - Faba Beans - Field Peas - Pasture Seeds
- 5. Clover and Duel Sheep –(20%) Purpose Cereal Pastures Self Replacing Merino Flock And a Prime Lamb Flock
- 6. Water Use Efficiency (WUE) over 23 years in wheat 4.50 100.00 5 Year Average Yield (T/Ha) 5 Year Average % Potential 95.00 4.00 90.00 85.00 3.50 80.00 Yield (T/Ha) Yield 75.00 % Potential Yield Linear (% Potential Yield) 3.00 70.00 65.00 2.50 60.00 55.00 2.00 50.00 1988-93 1990-94 1991-95 1992-96 1993-97 1994-98 1995-99 1996-00 1997-01 1998-02 1999-03 2000-04 2001-05 2002-06 2003-07 2004-08 2005-09 2006-10 5 Year Period
- 7. French/Schultz Potential Yield Model for Wheat Potential Yield = (GSR-110)*20 ie. If GSR = 350mm Potential Yield = (350-110)*20 = 4800kg/ha
- 8. French/Schultz Potential Yield Model for Wheat Potential Yield = (GSR-110)*20 Potential Yield = (350-110)*20 = 4800kg/ha If actual yield was 4000kg/ha Then % potential yield = 4000/4800 = 83% Ie the Water Use Efficiency is 83%
