Wheat variety trial - Frances locations
Aims

To assess the yield of a range of wheat varieties.

Key messages
  • Importance of a sound fungicide strategy is highlighted at sites where there are unsprayed plots. The variation in yield between sprayed and unsprayed plots depends on the disease rating of the variety, and this should always be  taken into account when selecting new varieties.
  • Long term site results should also be utilised to reduce the effect of seasonal variability in the decision making process.
