CY24 Rice Benchmarking Statistics
• 299 farms, 785 paddocks, 23 085ha surveyed
• 43% CY24 crop area
– Nutrient inputs – all
– Water inputs – 50%
• Analysed at the farm level due to paddock yield inaccuracies
• Thank you to all growers that provided their data!

• Timing is Everything
Early in Planting window best
PI and Flowering Critical Dates
Planting Date
PW Date
Irrigation Management
Nitrogen
• Timing is Everything
• Set up for Success
Consistent and Even Plant Establishment Layout and Ground Prep
Plant Population
• Timing is Everything
• Set up for Success
• More Nitrogen is not the answer – Adequate nutrition
