Machine Harvest Trial Methodology
Challenges
- Variability in paddock soil type/water application across trial
- Weed pressure
- Adverse weather events
- Sourcing new cultivars – increasing seed testing costs
Current Machine Harvest Trials
- Randomised complete block design
- Five replicates where possible
