2019 Results

Main Wheat

Nineteen wheat varieties were sown on April 30th and harvested on November 28th. Average yield was 7.2 t/ha, with LRPB Cobra having the highest yield of 9.3 t/ha.

Early Maturing Wheat 

Six wheat varieties, and lines were sown on May 22nd and harvested on November 27th. Average yield was 5.8 t/ha with a top yield 8.4 t/ha for Vixen. Emu Rock did become infected with stripe rust, despite having a higher resistance rating than some of the other varieties. This may indicate a new rust race has emerged and keeping up-to-date with the current ratings is essential for disease management.

Late Maturity Wheat

Eight wheat varieties were sown on April 24th and harvested on November 28th. Average yield was 9.5 t/ha, with LRPB Trojan having the highest yield of 10.3 t/ha, although not statistically different to all other varieties.

Long term yield performance as a percentage of LRPB Scout. NVT data from the numurkah site.
