Trial location(s) Hart, SA
Comparison of durum varieties locations
Aims

To compare the performance of new durum wheat varieties and lines against the current industry standards

Key messages

Grain yields for all durum varieties were good, averaging 4.23 t/ha compared to average wheat and barley trial grain yield of 4.80 t/ha and 4.74 t/ha, respectively. Test weight values were higher than previous years and screening levels low
