Variety by Row Spacing with Neil Halpin
Neil Halpin (Senior Agronomist, QPIF/DEEDI) walks us through a variety row spacing trial that has demonstrated that moving to a 1.83 metre permanent bed system doesn't cause a yield penalty. However he did find that varieties that lodge are a poorer choice for dual row systems with suckering and rat damage creating CCS negative effects, whereas super singles tend to have fewer stalks and they are heavier as well.
