Aims

To evaluate a range of commercially available varieties for yield and grain quality, sown at two sowing times.

Key messages
  • Amarok yielded highest out of the TOS1 wheat varieties. Bolac and Wedgetail had the highest protein content.
  • Preston produced the highest yeild of the TOS2 wheat varieties.
  • For varieties grown in both TOS1 and TOS2, their combined average yields were significantly highter in TOS2 thatn TOS1. The test weight for TOS2 wheat also tended to be higher thatn the test weight of the varieties of wheat grown at TOS1.
  • Longer maturity varieties in each trial tended to out-yield shorter season cultivars.
