Condobolin wheat varietal yield and quality trial locations
Aims

To provide localised data on the yield and quality response of released and near release wheat lines.

Key messages
  • The extremely late break to the season highlighted maturity differences very clearly. 
  • The long season trial was sown on the same day as the main season trial, favouring heavily the short season varieties.
