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.
  • To incorporate a fungicide programme in order to identify the susceptibility and yield penalty (if any) for not using fungicides in these varieties.
Key messages
  • The average yield for the barley variety trial at Dunkeld was 6.53 t/ha. 
  • The highest yield was achieved by Westminster (7.52 t/ha) followed by cv. 4262 (7.40 t/ha) and Fleet (7.20 t/ha).
  • Gairdner and Baudin were the lowest yielding varieties achieving 5.16 and 5.23 t/ha.
  • Providional malt varieties Westminster, 4262 and Oxford topped the gross margin results with high yields, good retention and low screenings.
  • Leaf scald pressure was high with all varieties showing some susceptibility when no fungicide was used.
