To develop variety specific agronomy packages for the major winter crops in southern NSW with emphasis on agronomic practices that are likely to have a genotype x environment interaction.
Key messages
Schooner and Gairdner have been the preferred malting barley varieties in southern NSW. Schooner generally achieves better quality in the lower rainfall parts of the cropping belt.
Gairdner has proved to be the highest yielding malting variety, but is prone to high screenings under dry conditions, late sowing and excessive nitrogen or seeding rates.
