Wheat varieties - the best bets in 2012 and what are the options in 2013

To evaluate a range of commercially available varieties. These reflect the most widely grown varieties in the area and include others that may be considered in the future. Choosing an appropriate variety is an integral part of maximising performance for this grade. This trial was specifically looking at the shorter season varieties and those most commonly sown in May sowing time.
