The Zadoks growth scale, which is already used overseas as an aid to better crop management, is gradually being adopted in crop production in Western Australia.

Serena And Circle Valley Medic Establishment, M A B Ewing
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

When sown on suitable soils and with appropriate establishment and management techniques, these medics have the potential to dramatically change farm profitability. This results from both increased production from livestock and from improved cereal crops grown in rotation.
