Key messages
  • Good paddock selection, average growing season rainfall and high inputs meant this was a very high yielding site. The average yield at the site was 2.5t/ha, with a difference of only 0.4 t/ha across all varieties tested.
  • Hyola 60, Surpass 603CL performed well however these varieties rely on the B. sylvestris major gene resistance for black leg, which has broken down in some SA districts.
  • Varieties with conventional blackleg resistance (multigenic) such as AVSapphire, AGCastle, and ATRBeacon performed well at this site. This demonstrates that there are both conventional and triazine tolerant high yielding alternatives to B. sylvestris varieties, suited to this district.
  • Oil contents at the site were high, with the exception of Stubby and Beacon, which fell below the minimum 42%.
