irrigated systems using solid, single-skip and double skip configurations to a fully irrigated solid crop Irrigations were scheduled using NAWF with the aim to keep the crop in the partially irrigated system flowering as long as possible to take advantage of any in-crop rainfall where three irrigations were available or to finish the crop off where only one was planned The season was characterised by a very wet start and dry finish, with less ability for the partially irrigated treatments to capture rainfall than in a more typical year The solid, fully irrigated crop yielded over 12.5 bales/ha but the single-skip semi-irrigated had a respectable yield of 8.65 bales/ha with better irrigation water use efficiency Difficult to make conclusions about these systems from one year's data and more research is needed to determine the potential of the single-skip semiirrigated system (or others) in a partially irrigated production system
