Trial details

Researcher(s) Rochelle Wheaton (Hart Field Site Group)
Year(s) 2016
Contributor Hart Field Site Group
Trial location(s) Hart, SA
Optimising cultivar and time of sowing in wheat locations
Aims

To investigate whether Winter varieties bred for NSW can be grown successfully in SA.

Key messages
  • The highest yielding treatment was Trojan sown on the 26th May at 5.96 t/ha.
  • RAC2341 has shown good adaption to SA conditions as a Winter variety and its potential release could provide growers with an earlier sowing option.
