To determine if early season barley varieties bred for the lower rainfall locations better suited later sowing of barley when compared to Gairdner in the HRZ.
Gairdner barley averaged the highest yield for the late sown ‘Spring’ barley variety trial, recording 4.5t/ha, significantly more than VBO432 (3.66t/ha) and Copeland (3.54t/ha). Gairder barley did not yield significantly more than Flagship (4.48t/ha) or Vlamingh (4.19t/ha) Yield, test weigh and screenings were not significantly different for all varieties.Thousand grain weights (grams) were significantly higher for Vlamingh (41.58g) when compared to VBO432 (40.58g) and Copeland (37.85g) All varieties were downgraded to feed based on very high protein and low test weights.
