Early and main wheat variety trials locations
Aims

To determine the performance of various wheat varieties across the low rainfall regions of Central West NSW

Key messages
  • A good farming system will utilise two to three with varying maturities, to spread risk
  • Sowing varieties inside their recommended window is essential and will maximise yield and reduce screenings. 
  • Storing summer fallow moisture is the key to producing good yields in these short finishing seasons. 
  • In the 2009 season, quick maturing varieties and earlier sowing dates produced the best yields across the region.
