Narromine Rainfall

• Trial established as a network request to evaluate Nutrisync M plus and minus Awaken ST and Urea. Treatments 5-8 mirrored 1-4 plus Urea.

• The addition of Awaken ST improved yield in comparable treatments in all but 1 treatment.

• The variety (EGA Gregory) is typically high yielding but low in protein.
