IntroductionNational Variety Trials seek to collect the most relevant varieties for each region and test them alongside the elite lines from breeding programs.

Only varieties deemed suitable for conditions in the northern region (Queensland and Northern NSW) have been included in this guide.

For all the information on the released varieties in the NVT trials in Queensland visit the NVT website (www.nvtonline.com.au).

NVT-generated data is the primary source of information for the tables in this document.

2015 season Conditions were highly variable across most regions of Queensland. Some areas missed out on wheat crops altogether and others received rainfall at key times to produce top-end yields.

CENTRAL QUEENSLAND conditions were split. The western portion of the Central Highlands received very little rainfall and many growers were unable to plant their winter cereals. Many of the NVT winter cereal trials were relocated to Emerald Agricultural College to make use of the irrigation. Dryland trials from Springsure to Kilcummin were not viable. On the eastern edge of the Central Highlands and through the Dawson Callide conditions were considerably better. Flooding rains in summer caused some disruptions but provided a good soil moisture situation. Timely rains provided opportunities for winter cereals and, in some areas, particularly high yields.

SOUTH-WEST QUEENSLAND endured a cautious start to the season, with talk of El Niño weather patterns and average soil moisture profiles. Timely rains across most districts (particularly the South West Downs and Far West) enabled planting of winter cereals and good falls of rain mid-season promoted some exceptional crop yields. The Maranoa and some northern parts of the Western Downs received less rainfall and consequently had limited planting opportunities. However, good mid-season rainfall helped boost grain yields.

SOUTH-EAST QUEENSLAND experienced an average season. Moderate early season rainfall promoted some cereal plantings and limited in-crop rainfall ensured that crop yields did not reach high levels.

Disease characteristicsROOT LESION NEMATODES (RLN) are widespread in the northern grain region and can significantly reduce wheat yields. RLN is also hosted by many non-cereal crops so that the absence of a winter-cereal crop in recent seasons does not mean that there are low levels of nematodes in the soil. Soil testing for RLN is available through the Predicta® B service (http://pir.sa.gov.au/research/services/molecular_diagnostics/predicta_b). A test should be considered prior to planting if you do not know which species of RLN, or the nematode levels are on your farm. If wheat is to be sown in nematode-infested soil, the tolerant varieties (listed as T, TMT or MT and highlighted in green) should be considered. The reaction of a wheat variety may differ to the two species of RLN, Pratylenchus thornei and Pratylenchus neglectus. This should be checked in Tables 2A and 2B (pages 6 and 7).

BUNT: To avoid bunt, wheat seed should be treated with a fungicidal dressing if it has been saved from a crop grown from untreated seed.

Only varieties deemed suitable for conditions in the northern region (Queensland and Northern NSW) have been included in this guide. If a variety is not mentioned, either there is no commercial seed available or there is concern it may not carry robust rust resistances and may compromise the Queensland wheat industry. If seed of varieties not mentioned in this guide is obtained, please ensure that you are provided with current and reliable rust information by the vendor.

YELLOW SPOT: Yellow spot was not a significant problem in 2015 due to the low in-crop rainfall in the early part of the season. While this has reduced the amount of inoculum in 2016, it will never be eliminated entirely and can build up quickly in wet seasons. Economic responses to fungicide control of yellow spot are only experienced when the disease is severe and infecting the top three to four leaves so decisions about spraying should always be left until the plants are at jointing stage and showing some disease on the upper leaves, and conditions are conducive.

CROWN ROT: 2015 was not a year that saw high levels of crown rot across the region. The low levels of early rain may have minimised the early infection that results in stem base damage, which affects yield when the plant is under stress later in the season. However, crown rot is widespread throughout the northern region. The inoculum can survive in the soil and stubble for several seasons and it is the main cause of yield losses when seasons are conducive. There is minor improvement in resistance in some recent cultivars, but a long rotation to a non-host such as a legume or brassica remains the most effective method of control. As with nematodes, the Predicta® B soil testing service is available from the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) and is useful for planning control strategies for crown rot (http://pir.sa.gov.au/research/services/molecular_diagnostics/predicta_b).

RUSTS: Stripe rust was seen in Northern NSW and South-East Queensland in August and was severe in some areas in northern NSW. The green bridge caused by volunteer wheat growing throughout the summer can carry inoculum over into 2016 and potentially allow an early start to an epidemic, so growers should be vigilant with crop inspections. Dr Steven Simpfendorfer from the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) identified mixed seed as the cause of unexpected disease in the Moderately Resistant (MR) cultivar EGA GregoryA, but not a breakdown of resistance in the cultivar as feared by some.

A new pathotype of leaf rust has moved from the southern to the northern region since 2014, and has spread throughout the northern region. Leaf rust is only occasionally a problem in Queensland, but in 2015 a South-East Queensland crop of a cultivar with a Susceptible to Very Susceptible (SVS) resistance rating to the new pathotype experienced significant damage that required fungicide application. This guide contains updated variety resistance data to the new pathotype and growers should make themselves aware of the new ratings of the cultivars they sow and be prepared to spray if the cultivar is below Moderately Susceptible (MS), and if rust is present and conditions are conducive to the disease.

General notesBread and noodle wheats (Triticum aestivum)Bread and noodle wheats are the dominant types of wheat planted throughout Queensland and Australia. They fall into a number of classifications that have different receival standards, from Australian Prime Hard (APH), with high quality requirements, through to FEED, which has limited quality requirements. Queensland conditions are conducive to the production of high quality grain. The breeding and development of new varieties reflects this. Flour milled from APH wheat is used to produce high-protein, Chinese-style, yellow, alkaline noodles and Japanese ramen noodles of superior brightness, colour and eating quality. APH flour is also suitable for the production of high-protein, high-volume breads and wanton dumpling skins. APH can be blended with lower-protein wheats to produce flours suitable for a wide range of baked products.

Durum wheats (Triticum durum)Durum wheats are used in the production of pasta products, where the main requirement is grain of high protein, preferably more than 13 per cent and a minimum of 11.5 per cent. Grain appearance is also important, downgrading can occur due to black point, weather damage and mottling. Acceptable levels of black point are as follows: ADR1 – 3 per cent, ADR2 – 5 per cent and ADR3 – 20 per cent.

Soft wheats

Soft wheats represent two distinct types. The Soft Biscuit type (9 to 10 per cent protein)is suitable for use in the biscuit industry, and the Soft Noodle type (9 to 11.5 per cent protein) is suitable for the manufacture of cakes, pastry and white salted noodles.

Soft Biscuit types are best grown using irrigation and suitable crop management to achieve target protein levels. Capped domestic market volumes exist and growers are therefore urged to seek pre-planting contracts.

Feed wheatsFeed wheats are generally high-yielding varieties that have quality limitations for use in flour and noodle production.

Forage wheats Forage wheats are commonly the winter type and have the major advantage of adaptability to a wide range of sowing times. The winter habit delays maturity in early sowings, thereby extending the period of vegetative growth. Maturity varies once vernalisation requirements have been met. Winter wheats are usually sown in late March or early April.

Frost damage may be minimised by planting varieties within the range of dates recommended in Table 1. This table was compiled from presently available data.

Planting categories

E = Early

Early planted crops face the risk of frost damage from pre-flowering to grain-fill. Therefore, plant early in areas of low frost risk, such as higher slopes, and reduce the risk of frost damage by planting more than one variety and by varying planting times.

In Central Queensland, warm weather encourages rapid early plant development. Where possible, plant shallow into moisture and use press-wheels to aid establishment. Increase the plant population for all varieties to compensate for reduced tillering in warm growing conditions. Maturity groupings may differ from district to district, particularly from Central to Southern Queensland.

C = Conventional

Varieties sown at their most appropriate planting times flower after the main frost period, although late frosts may still cause damage.

L = Late

The reliability of yield can be low following a very late planting due to high temperatures during flowering and grain-fill.

Each row in Table 1 comprises a maturity group within an individual district.

† Table 1, Central Burnett: South Burnett & West Moreton. Plant wheat varieties two weeks earlier in the West Moreton.

Effects of grain defects on end-product qualityBLACK POINT – Excessive levels may result in specky semolina or discoloured bran, wheat germ and divide flours (pastry flour). End products are often visually unattractive; this is particularly the case with durum products such as pasta.

SPROUTING (low falling number) – Finished product is affected by high levels of alpha amylase present in the flour, which causes key-holing in bread, fragile noodles and dark, discoloured biscuits and cakes. Minimal impact on pasta except at FN (falling numbers) <200sec.

FROST DAMAGE – Can cause low falling number, reduced flour yield, increased grain hardness and very poor baking performance – bread, biscuits and breakfast cereals.

EXCESS SCREENINGS – Reduced grain and flour yield (loss of profitability) but has little effect on end-product quality (excluding excess screenings due to frost and heat stress damage). During the 2002 harvest it was observed that a number of samples tested with high screenings had poor baking quality. This was attributed to heat stress damage during grain filling, which was also believed to be responsible for the high screenings.

LOW DENSITY (test weight, kg/hl) – Reduced grain and flour yield (loss of profitability), has little effect on end-product quality (excluding low density due to frost and heat stress damage).

HEAT DAMAGE (due to drying at temperatures above 60oC) – Flour produced from this grain is of poor baking quality and baked products are often unsaleable.

Sensitivity of wheat varieties to herbicides (see Table 4, next page)Research in southern Queensland in the years from 1999 to 2015 has shown that herbicide tolerance differs among the wheat varieties grown in the northern region.

The research was undertaken at weed-free sites in two formats. The advanced trials compared plot yields of varieties sprayed at the recommended label rate and double label rates with the untreated controls. The preliminary trials compared plot yields of varieties sprayed at double the recommended label rate with the untreated control. Herbicide rates and crop stages at spraying are presented in Table 4.

The sensitivity of the varieties is summarised in Table 4 using the following symbols based on the yield responses across all trials:

no significant yield reductions at a recommended or double rate

N (narrow margin) significant yield reductions at double rate in 1+ trials, but not at recommended rate. Includes data from advanced and preliminary trials.

If a yield reduction is significant at the recommended label rate then a yield reduction percentage can be calculated. This will produce a warning. Where warnings are given, the effect at double rates is not included in the table.

x% yield reduction (warning) significant yield reduction at recommended rate in 1 trial only

x-y% yield reduction (warning) significant yield reduction at recommended rate in 2+ trials

( ) years of screening, e.g. (2) is 2 years screening, (1/3) is there was yield loss in 1 year of 3 years screening.

NB Always follow label recommendations. All herbicide applications must accord with the currently registered label for that particular herbicide, crop, weed and region. Any research regarding herbicides and their use reported here does not constitute a recommendation for that particular use by the authors or Queensland DAF. It must be emphasised that crop tolerances and yield responses to herbicides are strongly influenced by seasonal conditions.

NVT provides estimated genetic values (EGVs) for grain yield for commercial varieties. Estimates of genetic value (yield) of individual varieties (on a state or region basis) are obtained from a statistical analysis of long-term multi-environment trial (MET) data collected between the years of 2011 and 2015. These values represent the best available predictions for the specified region and are provided to facilitate reliable variety selection decisions.


16

Locality based yield graphs (NVT wheat trials 2011–15)

The regional mean yields shown in Tables 5.1 to 5.6 average varietal performance across trial locations within each region (pages 14 and 15). Averaging over locations within a region masks variety-by-environment interaction, that is, the ability of a variety to yield differently between locations or across seasons (years). The production value (PV) shown in the graphs below unlocks the variability in grain yield performance of each variety observed over different locations and seasons in the NVT trialling system. PV is the varietal yield advantage (t/ha) of a variety in a particular environment. The PVs are shown as positive or negative differences relative to a baseline, which reflects the expected average yield of all the varieties included in the current main and early season NVT wheat data set for the northern region. Varieties may be viewed as having expected yields that are equal to the baseline (PV=0) or above (PV>0) or below (PV<0) average for each particular environment. The graphs are given for a standard set of varieties in all locations with more than four years of testing. Further information can be obtained upon request from Clayton Forknall ([email protected]) or Douglas Lush ([email protected]).

The NVT LONG-TERM YIELD REPORTS provide Australian growers and advisers with the best available tool for making variety selection decisions based on crop yield. Information is available for all cropping regions in Australia for 10 crops: wheat, barley, canola, oats, triticale, chickpeas, field peas, faba beans, lentils and lupins.

The CROP DISEASE AU application has been developed by the Australian National Variety Trials program (NVT) and funded by the GRDC. It provides access to up-to-date variety information from the NVT database, as well as current disease-resistance ratings, disease information and an extensive disease image library.
