Aims

To further compare existing triticale varieties and evaluate new breeding material. 

Key messages
  • Triticale yields were surprisingly good at Symmons Plains being on average higher than all except the best wheats. In contract at Riccarton the wheats tended to be higher yielding possibly due to a small amount of frost damage in the triticale. 
  • It has been difficult to select a new triticale variety that is consistently higher yielding than Tahara. This appears to be complicated by greater variety x site as well as variety x year interaction in comparison with wheat trials. The front runners after several years of trials appear to be Wig, W47, Treat, Tickit and AT509.
