Aims

To test the six new varieties will be marketed in Victoria in 2005.

Key messages
  • Limited results will be available from 2004 due to the dry season.
  • Review long term data, and try new varieties in conjunction with proven varieties.
  • Six new varieties will be marketed in Victoria in 2005. 2004 was a difficult season for most.
  • The hot dry weather during flowering and pod filling periods reduced yields and oil contents. Frost was also an issue to farmers in the Wimmera.
  • Given the season there will be limited results available, and as always we recommend that new varieties are chosen in conjunction with proven varieties.
