The development of winter wheats suitable for early sowing in the semi-arid Mediterranean
environments of southern Australia can potentially increase water-limited potential yield
despite decreasing autumn rainfall. Early-sown winter wheats generally have higher
biomass than later-sown spring wheats. However, this increased biomass does not always
translate to greater yield in comparison to spring wheats, as winter wheats often have lower
harvest index. This study aimed to determine whether yield physiology differs in winter and
