Key messages
  • Over the last 5 years later maturing lines (flowering mid-November) have generally significantly out-yielded Tahara. The exception was 2000/01 where Tahara was 10-25% higher yielding than nearly all other lines due to both the absence of frost damage and the sharp finish to the season. With this season's good spring rains Tahara was back at the bottom of the pile at Symmons Plains and less dominant at Riccarton. However the fact that this year the later lines were not the highest yielding in such a favourable season suggests that the main advantage of these lines is through avoiding frost damage at flowering.
