PLANT VARIETIES JOURNAL 2002 VOL <strong>15</strong> NO. 2<br />
Pioneer. Watering regime: Flood irrigated once 18/10/00.<br />
Chemicals: Lorsban (1L/ha) and SuSCon 29kg/ha were<br />
applied at planting and Gramoxone (1L/ha) and Diurex<br />
(2kg/ha) were used to control weeds in 2001. Fertilisers:<br />
DAP (196kg/ha – N 36kg/ha, P 40kg/ha) was applied at<br />
planting; 50/50 (400kg/ha – N100kg/ha, K 100kg/ha) was<br />
applied in Nov 2000; Trial design: clones were grown in a<br />
randomised complete block design with three replicates.<br />
Plots were single row by 9m, with 1.5m between rows.<br />
Measurements: taken from up to 20 stalks sampled<br />
randomly per plot.<br />
Prior Applications and Sales<br />
