Wheat variety trial (soft wheat) - Conmurra locations
Aims

To report on a soft wheat variety trial.

Key messages
  • These trials are carried out each year to assess the range of wheat varieties at several sites across the South-East.
  • The regular use of fungicides for disease control within wheat NVT has reduced the impact of disease on grain yield performance, placing greater importance on the use of disease guides for varietal choice.  
  • Need to minimise or avoid sowing of susceptible varieties which do not meet minimum disease standards unless a vigilant and successful disease control strategy is in place.
  • Data from the NVT (National Variety Trial) data contains long-term site results. This data should be utilised to reduce the effect of seasonal variability in the decision-making process.
