The aim of this trial was to further compare existing triticale varieties and evaluate new breeding material.
Eight triticale varieties and lines were evaluated. A new strain of stripe rust affected nearly all material, some severely eg Kosciosko. In other less susceptible material adult plant resistance ensured that at least the flag leaf was largely functional. Grain yields generally reflected the severity of stripe rust infection. Tahara still remains difficult to beat in terms of grain yield.
