Wheat investigations at Biloela regional experiment station, Central Queensland

Abstract

A review of climatic conditions has been given to show the relationship between the distribution of rainfall and the production of wheat in the Callide Valley region. Data have been presented to show the total amounts and the percentage chances of receiving specific quantities of rainfall during the fallowing, planting and growing periods for wheat. Comments have been made on the selection of planting time and the suitability of varieties for grain and hay production. The influence of soil nitrogen supply and frosts upon wheat production in the Callide Valley has been discussed.
