Aims
To identify triticale genotypes which have superior frost tolerance at flowering.
To compare dry matter yield and growth characteristics of a range of triticale genotypes.
To compare grain yield and performance of a range new triticale genotypes in Southern Victoria and compare these to varieties currently grown
Key messages
Yield results of triticale grown on Southern Farming Systems (SFS) sites last season have highlighted a need for continued research into frost and its effects on cereals; triticale in particular.
Many triticale lines on the Streatham and Hamilton sites in particular were recognized as being moderately to severely effected by frost.
Analysis of head and grain samples are still undergoing testing and further evaluation before firm results can be made available on individual frost effects on various lines in the research trial.
No observed climate data available for this trial. Derived climate data is
determined from trial site location and national weather sources.
