In the past couple of seasons the release of varieties such as Sicot 71BRF which have similar yield potential to Sicot 71BR, but improved fibre characteristics, have removed the impetuous for growers to manage irrigation water to maintain base grade fibre length. However, this has enabled them to focus irrigation management to ensure yield potential reached. Today’s Facts on Friday discusses the effects of differing irrigation management on the yield of Sicot 71BRF.
