Evaluation of dual purpose cereal varieties locations
Aims

To determine:

  • Which dual purpose varieties respond to Gippsland’s climatic conditions?
  • Which new varieties may have commercialization potential?
  • Which varieties are best suited to forage and feed grain production?
     
Key messages
  • Barley was the clear winner in terms of grain production for this year's trial whilst the wheat varieties performed best in terms of the hay and grazing potential.
  • Hay production was probably the best economic outcome in 2009 for most of the varieties covered in this trial. This reflected prevailing market prices at the time of harvest.
  • For more take home messages please see the attached trial report.
