Trial details

Researcher(s) Greg Forster (SFS)
Year(s) 2007
Contributor Southern Farming Systems
Trial location(s) Bairnsdale, VIC
Evaluation of dual purpose cereal varieties locations
Aims

To determine:

  • Which dual purpose cereal varieties respond favorably to Gippsland’s climatic conditions.
  • Which new varieties may have commercialization potential.
  • Which varieties are best suited to forage and grain production.
Key messages

The results of Trial 1 (forage and grain) have shown that Yerong Barley, 5092 Barley and Monstress Triticale produced the most dry matter (DM/Ha) up to GS30 for grazing. Amarok and Wedgetail produced the most dry matter of the wheat varieties. For Hay production (GS85), Wedgetail produced the most dry matter followed by Rudd and the HRZ03.1010.3 wheat variety. In total (Grazing and Hay), Wedgetail outperformed all varieties producing the most dry matter.
