2022 Hyper Yielding Crops Data

The GRDC Hyper Yielding Crops (HYC) project was set up to challenge the current boundaries of productivity and profitability in the high yielding regions of southern Australia. The objective was underpinned by five research centres across five states (WA, SA, Victoria, Tasmania and NSW) focusing on germplasm, disease and canopy management.

Data and file overview (D-3.2)

The data presented here is the 2022 Hyper Yielding Crops Project raw data. The results cover the following sites and crops:

Victorian HYC- Wheat, Barley & Canola

South Australian HYC- Wheat. Barley & Canola

Western Australian HYC- Barley & Canola

New South Wales HYC- Wheat & Canola

Tasmanian HYC- Wheat & Barley

Data files

The data are organised by approximate site, crop type, and trial ID. The trial ID corresponds to trial details and analysis contained within the pdf results report.

This repository includes:

• The most recent version of the excel data sheet(s) that record original data and contains related calculations (eg. plant density from plant counts). These are in similar formats for most trials.
• The pdf copy of the most recent report on the experiment.

Methodological information (D-3.3)

• Experimental design and treatment summaries are contained within the Annual results report contained within this repository (2022 HYC Results for distribution_FINAL.pdf). A copy of this report is also avliablie on the FAR Australia website (https://faraustralia.com.au/resource) 
• Raw data has been summarised per plot into columns representing each assessment conducted using GDM ARM trial management software. Each sheet contains a key describing units and codes for each assessment. 

Environmental/experimental conditions (D-3.4)

The trial reports describe experimental or environmental conditions (including soil and climate details) affecting the interpretation of the relevant trial data.

Data-specific information (D-3.5)

The data spreadsheets are self-describing. The rows above the data typically contain the date, crop growth stage, a brief description of the assessment made and any notes made. A key is located in each sheet with further descriptions of units, codes and abreviations used.
