title: 2023 Hyper Yielding Crops Barley Award Paddock Data

description: Sharing/access information (D-3.1*)

Use of data for other research organisations welcomed. Please contact FAR Australia in regard to opportunities for co-authorship of publicly available science papers.

Most of the work has not been published previously in peer-reviewed literature.

If you plan to publish work based to any substantial degree off this dataset, FAR Australia would appreciate being offered the opportunity to be involved early. Our aim is to make a constructive contribution to the work and be included as a co-author.

Where possible, Portable Document Format (pdf) copies of the most recent report on each experiment are included to facilitate interpretation. Many of these can also be found on the FAR Australia website (https://faraustralia.com.au/resource), or by searching online for GRDC update papers that mention "hyper yielding".

Data and file overview (D-3.2)

The data presented here is the 2023 Hyper Yielding Crops Project barley award paddock data. The results cover yield, grain quality, yield component, soil, input and decision data from SA, TAS, VIC and WA.

Data files

The data is organised in each sheet by trial site ID, trial site location, state, year, crop type, and variety name. Specific information for each sheet is outlined below:

Barley HYC_2023_Yield_Sow date_Stubble_05-04-24.xlsx- Previous crop, sow date, harvest date, season length, yield (t/ha), harvest method, thousand seed weight (g), germination rate, plant population, sow rate (kg/ha), seeds per m2 sown, stubble management, fallow management,     grazed start date, grazed end date, seeder type, seeder name, row spacing, seeder width, spreader width and sprayer width.

Barley HYC_2023_Soil and grain test data_07-04-24.xlsx- previous crop type, ph cacl2 (0-10 cm), Colwell p (0-10 cm), Colwell k (0-10 cm), ECEC (0-10 cm), organic carbon (0-10 cm), APAL soil texture 0 10 (0-10 cm), other soil texture (0-10 cm), grain N, grain P, grain K, grain S, grain Cu, grain Zn, grain Mn.

Barley HYC_2023_Harvest yield components_07-04-24.xlsx- harvest yield (t/ha), avg dry matter at harvest (t/ha), avg harvest index post-harvest (%), avg head count at harvest, avg grains per head post-harvest, avg grains per m2 at harvest, avg 1000 grain weight at harvest (g), avg protein post-harvest (%), avg test weight post-harvest (Kg/hl), avg screenings post-harvest (%), avg seeder row spacing at harvest (mm).

Barley HYC_2023_Fertiliser, Fungicide and PGR_05-04-24.xlsx - Previous crop, yield (t/ha), harvest method, fertiliser total (kg/ha), number of fertiliser applications, fertiliser application details, fungicide cost (per ha), number of fungicide applications, fungicide application details, herbicide cost (per ha), number of herbicide applications, herbicide application details and PGR application details.

Barley HYC_2023_ Yield - Complete Soil Textures_05-04-24.xlsx - sow date, harvest date, yield (t/ha), harvest yield method, ASC soil order and APAL soil texture

Reasons for sowing Sp barley 2023.xlsx- Trial site ID, trial site name, trial site location, state and reason for sowing [spring sown barley].

This repository includes:



The most recent version of the excel data sheet(s) that record original data and contains related calculations (eg. Ave dry matter at harvest from dry matter quadrant cut).


Methodological information (D-3.3)

       ·        Data was collected by HYC project officers in each region working with local growers. Recording of paddock information was conducted across three assessment visits during the course of the season.



Yield component data was calculated by FAR Australia using samples supplied by regional project officers.

Raw data has been summarised per plot into columns representing each assessment conducted exported from the HYC portal developed by CeRDI.


Environmental/experimental conditions (D-3.4)

There has been no quality assurance procedure performed on the data.

People involved with sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission are acknowledged in the report associated with each trial.

Soil information ( including ASC soil order and APAL soil texture) are described for each location in Barley HYC_2023_ Yield - Complete Soil Textures_05-04-24.xlsx and Barley HYC_2023_Soil and grain test data_07-04-24.xlsx.

Data-specific information (D-3.5)

The data spreadsheets are self-describing. The rows above the data typically contain, a brief description of the assessment made and any notes.
