Cereal cropping in Gippsland: evaluating suitable wheat and barley varieties locations
Aims

To evaluate a range of new and existing varieties of wheat suitable for early- and mid-sowing in Gippsland.

To compare a range of commercially available barley varieties grown for the feed market.

Key messages

Wheat yields at Gippsland were well below the average yields recorded at SFS’ other trial sites in the western districts of the state.

  • As with the wheat variety trials, the barley yields recorded at Gippsland were below average yields recorded elsewhere in the state.
  • The highest yielding varieties were Henley, Gairdner and Oxford, which all yielded over 5.8t/ha.
  • Hindmarsh was the lowest yielding variety at 4.4t/ha although it couldn’t be separated statistically from Capstan which yielded 4.6t/ha.
