Winter wheat variety trial locations
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 the south east of Victoria.

Key messages
  • The average yield for the Winter wheat variety trial was 3.03 t/ha. The highest yielding variety was Amorok with 3.81 t/ha.
  • The shorter season varieties yielded well compared to the longer season varieties. This was a response to the rapid finish to the season, where the longer season varieties lost some yield potential during grain fill.
  • The rapid finish to the season also reduced the grain quality, where test weight and screenings were the main reasons for downgrading.
