An evaluation of the growth and yield of perennial cereals in two contrasting environments - observed data

This research compared the growth of three candidate perennial cereals,intermediate wheatgrass, mountain rye, and hybrid perennial wheat, to a forage species (tall wheatgrass) and annual winter wheat. The crops were grown in two contrasting
Australian cropping and livestock regions, Cowra in NSW (temperate) and Pittsworth, Queensland (sub-tropical). In the first year treatments included early, late, and early plus late defoliation, to simulate grazing before reproductive development. Phenology was recorded monthly and the crops harvested each year as the plants reached grain maturity.
The dataset contains the observation of each of the 4 replicates of each species and defoliation treatment at Cowra and Pittsworth. There are raw data sheets and summary sheets with the mean and SEM of each of the four replicates.
