SAGIT Podcast #4 - Head-loss in barley - Matthew Tucker
Description
The risk of head-loss in barley crops is often enough of a deterrent for growers not to plant it. Finding a solution to this problem has been the focus of work undertaken by Associate Professor Matthew Tucker from the University of Adelaide.
In this podcast episode, Matthew talks about a couple of SAGIT-funded projects exploring a combination of agronomy, genetics and engineering principles to try and reduce the yield losses associated with head-loss.
