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 in south east Victoria.

Key messages
  • The average yield for the spring wheat trial was 1.89 t/ha for the 2009 season.
  • The shorter season varieties Derrimut and Beaufort were the highest yielding varieties with 2.78 and 2.38 t/ha respectively.
  • The rapid finish to the season due to the unseasonal hot conditions in early November contributed to the shorter season varieties yielding better than the longer season varieties.
  • The rapid finish also reduced grain quality where all varieties were downgraded on test weight and screenings.
  • Time of sowing was also identified as a key outcome of this trial. Earlier sown Winter wheat and barley varietiy trials achieved greater yields and water use efficiencies.
