An evaluation of English winter milling wheats in Tasmania locations
Aims

To compare a group of English winter wheats, many of which are milling grade, with two of the leading red wheats, Revenue and Alberic.
 

Key messages
  • With a favourable season the later maturity of the English wheat germplasm did not give a yield increase above that of Revenue from the early (April) sowing.
  • In the later (May) sowing there was a substantial yield decline from the English wheats compared with Revenue.
  • Revenue appears to have a distinct advantage in being slightly earlier maturing yet still high yielding, similar attributes were not see in English wheats which were all later maturing and more prone to a dry finish.
  • Both Revenue and Tennant showed tendancies to oldge despite a double applicaiton of growth regulators, no lodging was observed in the English wheats.
