Aims

To evaluate a number of varieties that are either commercially available or close to commercial release that may be suitable for the growing conditions of southern Victoria. This trial differs from other comparative crop variety testing in that it evaluates the varieties with a fungicide programme; to determine the yield response of the varieties when controlling leaf diseases against a control, or no foliar fungicide applied. Additionally, the management of inputs in the trial are based on the objective to gain the best margin per hectare.
 

Key messages
  • The average yield for the spring wheat trial at Inverleigh was 5.12 t/ha. The highest yields were achieved by the shorter seaons varieties Beaufort (6.95 t/ha) and Derrimut (6.10 t/ha). Both varieties yielded well in the 2008 wheat variety trial at Inverleigh.
  • For further take home messages please see the attached trial report.
