To examine the yield potential of new winter and spring barley germplasm grown under HYC Management packages against spring and winter controls in the traditional Anzac Day sowing window (sown 20 April).
• Cultivar had a significant effect on phenology, yield, grain quality and disease resistance.
• In spring cultivars, late booting (GS49) ranged from the 23 July (Leabrook) to the 25 August (Laureate and IGB21130), with the two winter varieties flowering on the 17 September and 5 October, 74 days after Leabrook.
• Newton (a two-row winter variety) and Pixel (a six-row winter variety) were some of the top yielding germplasms, 6.09 t/ha and 5.49 t/ha respectively.
• Of the spring varieties, a new InterGrain cultivar (IGB21130) produced the highest yield of 5.77 t/ha.
• Spring barleys which flowered after mid-August produced a significantly higher yield than faster-maturing varieties.
• Protein percentage also varied greatly between cultivars, with the winters having significantly lower levels (9.1% and 9.3%), and with a trend of lower yielding varieties having a higher protein percentage.
• Net Form Net Blotch (NFNB) and Spot Form Net Blotch (SFNB) were assessed throughout the season, with RGT Planet and Zena CL having significantly higher infection levels.
