1 Crop Report Report name: Graham Centre Field Site Crop Report SILO station used: Wagga Wagga AMO (Complete) Rainfall records used: SILO Report date: 3/6/215 Temperature records used: SILO Last climate date available: 1/6/215 Maximum rooting depth: 1 cm Client name: EH Graham Centre Stubble type: None Paddock name: Graham Centre Field Site Stubble amount Report generated by: EH Graham Centre Number of tillage operations: Date sown: 22-May Stubble % incorporated into the top 1cm: % Crop type: Wheat Rainfall since 5-Mar: 85 mm Variety sown: Gregory Date of last rainfall entry:? Sowing density: 15 plants/m2 Expected maturity date: 27-Nov Initial conditions date: 5-Mar Soil type: Red Kandosol (No498-Generic) This graph shows the probability of exceeding a range of yield outcomes this season. It takes into account your pre- season soil moisture; the weather conditions so far; soil N and agronomic inputs. The long term record from your nominated weather station is then used to simulate what would have happened from this date on in each year of the climate record. The yield results are used to produce this graph. This graph show the probability of exceeding a range of hay yield outcomes this season. It takes into account the same factors as the grain yield graph above. When above ground dry matter is below 2t/ha, hay yield is assumed to be 7% of dry matter, with a moisture content of 13%. When dry matter is between 2 and 12t/ha, hay yield is assumed to be between 7 and 75% of dry matter (sliding scale). When dry matter is above 12t/ha, hay yield is assumed to be between 75 and 8% (sliding scale). Current dry matter: 8 kg/ha

4 Brief periods of mild to moderate stress do not necessarily lead to reduced yield. To see the likely impacts of additional nitrogen fertiliser rates use the Nitrogen and Nitrogen Profit reports.

If the water values are below this stress threshold the water available to roots above the stress threshold will be negative.

5 Bureau of Meteorology Seasonal and Monthly Outlooks Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) Phase and Analagous Years The SOI is currently in the Falling phase. The 31 day mean SOI for May was In April the 3 day mean was The years in history with the same SOI phase: 193, 194, 196, 1918, 193, 1933, 1941, 1943, 1948, 1949, 1959, 1963, 1965, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1988, 199, 1992, 2, 23, 24 Yield outcomes of the current SOI Phase ARE significantly different from yield outcomes of all years. Significance is determined on a 9% probability threshold. (PValue=.66) The SOI is an index that compares the atmospheric pressure between Tahiti and Darwin. SOI phases are determined by comparing average monthly SOI values of the past two months. Phases of the SOI have been shown to be related to rainfall variability in a range of locations in Australia and around the world.
