Barley variety trial - Conmurra locations
Aims

To assess the yield of a range of barley varieties.

Key messages
  • Several new varieties have been released for the 2012 season that look promising; they are only feed quality at this stage, but undergoing malt evaluation.  NVT Trials weren’t sprayed for leaf rust in 2011.
  • This will change in 2012 to reflect farmer practice.
  • Unsprayed v Sprayed varietal data is available for both Frances and Conmurra and it gives a good indication of effects of disease on yield across different varieties.
