Wheat variety evaluation locations
Aims

To compare existing wheat varieties, and evaluate new breeding material. The performance of advanced lines was also evaluated under higher input conditions at Burnie.

Key messages
  • Fifty-six lines and varieties were sown at Nile and a subset of these at Burnie. Waterlogging was a contraint at both sites, particularly Nile.
  • Revenue was the stand-out variety across both trials and this continues on from previous high yields in Tasmania in six years of grain-only and dual purpose trials.
  • For further take home messages please see attached trial report.
