Gross margin analysis: spring planted soybean variety Gwydir[PBR], Delungra 2021–22

Abstract

Key findings • The Gwydir[PBR] soybean crop was planted on 14 December 2021, approximately one month later than planned. It reached physiological maturity on 5 May 2022. Harvest was delayed by wet weather and was completed on 14 May. The crop yielded 2 t/ha with a grain protein concentration of 42% dry matter (DM) basis. • The crop gross margin was $822/ha. • This experiment demonstrated that Gwydir[PBR] soybean is well adapted to the northern slopes production region of New South Wales (NSW) in terms of yield, resistance to leaf diseases and maturity. • Despite wet weather delaying harvest, the Gwydir[PBR] crop achieved the edible standard grade, demonstrating the weathering tolerance of this variety.
