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.
Key messages
  • The winter wehat variety trial yielded an average of 5.72 t/ha. Revenue had the highest yield with 6.67 t/ha after topping the 2008 Mininera variety trial. Mackellar again yielded well with 6.05 t/ha and was the highest yielding variety at Dunkeld in 2008.
  • Most varieties were classified as feed wheats, and were all able to achieve this grade. Revenue had the highest gross margin of $750/ha, however consideration must also be given to the value of grazig these dual purpose varieties.
  • For further take home messages please see attached trial report.
