Grain yield of early sown wheat and triticale without grazing locations
Aims

 To compare the early sowing performance of a high yielding Australian wheat variety with reasonable lodging resistance (Revenue) with an English variety recognised for strong stem strength (Einstein). As an additional comparison, the new triticale variety Endeavour was included as it has a strong winter habit (vernalisation requirement) before flowering.
 

Key messages
  • Revenue was significantly higher yielding than Einstein which in turn out-yielded Endeavour. Revenue appears to have set a new plateau in wheat yield potential in Tasmania across a range of sowing dates both in grain-only and in dual purpose trials.
  • For further take home messages please see the attached trial report.
