Read PDF Online

The AIMI survey of New Zealand cereal growers, as at October 10, 2023 is now available online.

  • For the 2022/2023 season, cereal grain production (wheat, barley and oats) in NZ totaled an estimated 835,900 tonnes (up 9% on last year). Maize grain production was estimated at 164,400 tonnes. Total production of grain in NZ was therefore estimated to be 1,000,300 tonnes.
  • When compared to the same time last year, unsold stocks of cereal grain, summed over all six crops, are estimated to have more than doubled (105% higher). As at 10 October 2023, unsold stocks of feed wheat and feed barley were estimated at 32,900 tonnes (up 15,000 tonnes on last year) and 53,500 tonnes (up 29,800 tonnes on last year), respectively.
  • Unsold stocks of cereal grain, summed over all six crops, are estimated to have reduced by 38% between 1 July 2023 and 10 October 2023.
  • On-farm storage of sold grain is up 55% (up 90,300 tonnes) on this time last year. Total on-farm storage, including both sold and unsold grain, summed over all six crops, is up 67% (up 147,500 tonnes) compared to the same time last year.
  • The total area sown or intended to be sown in cereals is estimated to be 94,300 hectares, which is down 3% (down 2,900 ha) on last season. An estimated 87% of this total area

Planting a crop consisting of multiple cereal cultivars (cultivar mixtures) enhances genetic diversity, which can improve both seasonal and long-term agronomic performance and slow or reduce disease spread. To assess the viability of this approach for feed wheat production under current commercial conditions in New Zealand, FAR conducted a series of field trials in Chertsey, Mid Canterbury, between 2021 and 2024.

Cereals Update 229: Late season fungicide management for autumn sown wheat

T1 and T2 applications provide the majority of disease control, yield benefits, and economic returns. However, adding a T3 spray often creates the best balance in a fungicide programme. A T3 application is timed to protect the 22% of yield linked to the leaf sheath and ear, but need for it will depend on seasonal disease pressure. This update outlines examples of balanced and targeted fungicide programmes which will aid profitability and reduce pressure on both cultivars and chemistry.
