This week we are talking all things Whole Grain Yield with Dr Rachael Wood and PhD candidate Allister Clarke.

Rachael explains her findings on the impact of grower management practices on whole grain yield. She looked in particular at planting density, the rate and timing of fertiliser application and different irrigation methods on rice grain quality.

Allister Clarke is currently completing his PhD through the Functional Grains Center and Food Agility CRC to develop a model to allow rice to be graded on quality at the delivery stand.
