Aims

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

Key messages
  • 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 by site interaction as well as variety by year interaction in comparison with wheat trials. The front runners after six years of trials are Kosciosko, W47, Tickit and AT509. In the first year of trialing, Breakwell performed exceptionally well but requires further testing over more sites. It is possible that without a major waterlogging stress, Breakwell may have no yield advantage. It was noted that this variety grew taller than other lines and so lodging could be a problem in a good season.
