Mallee wheat variety experiments locations
Aims

To compare wheat variety trial results in the Mallee region for the year 2000.

Key messages
  • Yitpi - Watch out for stem and leaf rust and yellow leaf spot - otherwise an excellent wheat for the Mallee.
  • Mitre - Smaller grain size than Yitpi, but higher yields - an excellent wheat for the Mallee.
  • Camm - Possibly at risk because of a new race of stripe rust, a good wheat for the Mallee where CCN is controlled in other ways.
  • Chara - An option to achieve a Prime Hard premium, if markets are available.
  • H45 - An alternative very early maturity wheat to Silverstar with improved grain size, but lacking CCN resistance.
