This field trial was undertaken at Westmere in Victoria, a high rainfall environment, to investigate factorial combinations of sowing time, seed rate and herbicides on the management of annual ryegrass in barley.

The aim of the experiment was to examine the effect of crown rot on yield in 12 bread wheats, one durum wheat and five barley varieties of differing tolerance levels in southern NSW (sNSW).

This experiment aimed to evaluate agronomic management options that enhance the yield potential on this specific soil type.

Under the new NVT Pathology Services Agreement 2019–23, the total number of diseases and crop species being screened in NSW has increased. Eight different crop types, both cereal and broadleaf, are annually screened for a total of 17 different diseases across three climatically and agronomically diverse sites within NSW (NSW DPI research stations based at Grafton, Tamworth and Wagga Wagga).

This experiment is beginning to characterise the reaction of Australian barley varieties at the seedling stage to scald isolates collected from southern NSW. It complements the adult plant screening process. 

In this series of experiments, we have quantified the extent of yield loss displayed in a number of commonly grown winter cereal varieties in southern New South Wales across four years.
 

The aim of this work is to increase the sources of multi-disease resistant germplasm available for barley variety improvement in Australia. This is being achieved by screening and identifying possible sources of resistance to barley scald and other diseases from the centres of origin of barley cultivation. 

Crown rot (CR) caused predominantly by the fungus Fusarium pseudograminearum (Fp), remains a major constraint to winter cereal production in the northern grains region. Cereal varieties differ in their resistance to crown rot, which can have a significant affect on their relative yield in the presence of this disease.

This experiment was one of 11 conducted by NSW DPI in 2016 across central/northern NSW extending into southern Qld; to examine the effects from crown rot on the yield and quality of four barley, three durum and 13 bread wheat varieties.

Varieties (20)

• Four barley varieties: CommanderA, CompassA, La TrobeA and SpartacusA.

• Three durum varieties: JandaroiA and LillaroiA plus the numbered line 190873.

• Thirteen bread wheat varieties: EGA GregoryA, LRPB FlankerA, BeckomA, CoolahA, SunmateA, LRPB LancerA, LRPB ReliantA, LRPB GauntletA, LRPB SpitfireA, MitchA, SuntopA and SunguardA; (listed in order of increasing resistance to crown rot) plus one numbered line LPB12-0494
