To present information about wheat varieties.

Key messages

Best options for the 2002 season are: ƒ

  • Yitpi for low rainfall, sodic or light textured soils, particularly where boron levels are high.
  • Mitre for medium rainfall, alkaline to slightly acid soils ƒ
  • Chara for medium to high rainfall and irrigation on neutral to acid soils
  •  H45 as a late sowing option where CCN is controlled.

The incentive to grow AH over APW varieties is small when wheat is pooled under the golden rewards payment system.
