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.
