To compare the performance of new wheat varieties alongside current commercial standards.
• Australian Premium Durum variety Patron was the highest yielding at Hart of 5.41 t/ha.
• Ballista, Catapult and Rockstar were the highest yielding Australian Hard varieties, ranging from 4.58 – 4.72 t/ha. Australian Prime Hard variety Sunblade CL Plus also performed well, yielding 4.85 t/ha.
• Scepter continues to perform well across multiple seasons at Hart.
• Brumby, Denison and LRPB Trojan were the highest yielding Australian Premium White varieties, yielding 4.54, 4.80 and 4.59 t/ha, respectively. Brumby also performed well in National Variety Trials across the Mid-North Region.
• Screenings (%) were very low, due to an excellent spring finish supporting wheat grain fill, however protein levels across all varieties trialed were low (>10.5%).
