A simple model to forecast wheat yield in Western Australia
Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, Vol.71(2 & 3), pp.77-81

Abstract
Stress, defined as the lack of sufficient water to maintain maximum growth rates and yields, has long been recognized as a dominant factor in Australian wheat yield. Thus, by relating stress to crop yield and incorporating seasonal forecasts, a simple predictive crop model can be developed, the data requirements of which are commensurate with available meteorological seasonal forecasts. Such a model has been applied to the Merredin district of Western Australia and its potential is illustrated through the use of yield hindcasts for the 1984-1986 seasons.
