To compare the performance of new durum varieties alongside current commercial standards
• Durum yields ranged from 1.29 – 1.65 t/ha at Hart in 2021.
• Westcourt, DBA Spes, Bitalli and DBA-Aurora were the highest yielding durum varieties, yielding 1.65, 1.64,1.55 and 1.53 t/ha, respectively.
• Grain protein levels were high (trial average 15%) and screenings were variable ranging from 2.2 – 15.9%.
• Test weights for all durum varieties trialed were high, averaging 79.5%, meeting DR1 receival standards.
