Resistance refers to the ability of the variety to reduce CCN carryover.Information on sprouting tolerance was provided by Prof Daryl Mares, University of Adelaide and disease resistances were provided by Dr Hugh Wallwork, SARDItwo genes for Clearfield resistanceand therefore has improved levels oftolerance to imidazolinone herbicidesover Clearfield JNZ and Clearfield STL.It is derived from Gladius with similarmaturity and susceptibility to pre harvestsprouting but is MR to CCN.Kord CL Plus is has an AH classification.Kord CL Plus has yielded slightly below(2-3%) Gladius in long term NVTevaluation. Seed available through AGT.Longreach Catalina ACatalina (LPB0268) is an AH quality,CCN resistant variety suited to mediumto higher rainfall districts across SEAustralia. Catalina is several days earlierflowering than Yitpi and has acceptablephysical grain quality.Catalina has good resistance to stemand leaf rust, moderate susceptibility tostripe rust and is MSS to yellow leaf spot.Long term yields have been slightlybelow Yitpi and it has shown sensitivityto Cadence® at recommended labelrate and timing. Seed available throughSeednet.Longreach Cobra ACobra (LPB07-0956) was recentlyreleased in Western Australia as an earlymaturing Westonia derivative with AHquality and high yield potential, althoughfurther evaluation in SA is required.Cobra has good resistance to stem andleaf rust but rated MSS to stripe rust,MRMS to CCN and MS to yellow leaf spot.Cobra has good grain size and moderatetest weight and is moderately susceptibleto pre-harvest sprouting. Seed availablethrough Pacific Seeds.Longreach Dart ADart (LBP07-1325) is a very earlymaturing, AH quality wheat with goodearly vigour and good resistance to allrusts and yellow leaf spot but susceptibleto CCN. Dart shows restricted tilleringand in combination with quick maturity,seeding rates should be kept up tomaximise yield. Seed available throughPacific Seeds.Longreach Lincoln ALincoln (LPB03-0545) has mid-seasonmaturity, AH quality and is a moderateyielding (similar or lower than Yitpi)variety.It has excellent resistance to all rustsincluding both WA and WA+Yr17 striperust pathotypes and good resistance toYLS and powdery mildew, but susceptibleto CCN.Lincoln has grain size similar to Janz andis susceptible to pre-harvest sprouting.Seed available from Pacific Seeds.Longreach Phantom APhantom (LRPB07-1040) is a mid tolate flowering, AH quality variety derivedfrom Yitpi with resistance to CCN, goodresistance to powdery mildew and allrusts but rated SVS to yellow leaf spotand shows mid-season “yellowing”similar to Yitpi. Phantom has good blackpoint tolerance, boron tolerance, lowscreenings and acceptable test weight.Seed available through Pacific Seeds.Longreach Scout AScout (LPB05-1164) is an AH qualityvariety with mid-season maturity, derivedfrom Yitpi. It has good resistance tostem and leaf rust and the WA stripe rustpathotypes but carries VPM and is ratedMS to the WA+Yr17 pathotype in easternAustralia. Scout is R to CCN and MRMSto powdery mildew but rated SVS toyellow leaf spot. Scout has good physicalgrain quality and similar sproutingtolerance to Yitpi but slightly moresusceptible to black point. Seed availablethrough Pacific Seeds (conditional SeedSharing allowed).Mace AMace (RAC 1372) is derivedfrom Wyalkatchem, but has an AHclassification, taller plant height, is MRto stem rust, MR to leaf rust and is ratedMRMS to CCN,YLS and Pratylenchusthornei.Although Mace has good resistance tothe older WA stripe rust race, it is rated asSVS to the WA+ Yr17 stripe rust strain andif grown, must be carefully monitoredand best avoided in districts prone tostripe rust unless a fungicide regime is inplace.Mace has been widely tested since 2009in NVT in SA and shows wide adaptationcoupled with high yield potential andwheat on wheat application. Seedavailable through AGT (conditional SeedSharing allowed).Magenta AMagenta was released from DAFWA in2007 as a mid season flowering, millingwheat with an APW classification in SA.In SA NVT, average yields have beensimilar to Gladius, although improvedon Yorke Peninsula, but while Magentahas good resistance to stem, leaf rust andyellow leaf spot, it is MS to stripe rust andsusceptible to CCN. Magenta has a longcoleoptile and seed is licensed to Nuseed.Peake APeake (NGSP006) released in 2007, is amedium-short strawed, mid maturing (5-6days earlier than Yitpi) variety that is nowgenerally outclassed for yield by newervarieties. Peake is MRMS to stem andstripe rust and R to leaf rust. Peake isCCN resistant, boron tolerant and is S toyellow leaf spot. Peake has AH quality andcan produce small grain under dry springconditions. Peake is available throughSeedcell.Shield AShield (RAC 1718) is an early to midseasonflowering, moderate yieldingmilling wheat with AH classification andacid soils tolerance. Shield has resistanceto CCN, good resistance to all rusts(stem rust – MR, stripe rust (WA-Yr17)– MR and leaf rust – R) and rated S toyellow spot. Shield has good black pointresistance (MRMS), moderate test weightand a low sprouting risk (MI). Seedavailable from AGT.Wallup AWallup (VV4978-1) was recently in 2011for the Victorian Wimmera and othermedium to higher rainfall regions.Wallup has AH quality combined withearly to mid-season maturity, CCNresistance, acceptable stem, stripe andleaf rust resistance, moderate (MSS)levels of yellow leaf spot resistance andgood black point resistance.It has useful resistance to root lesionnematodes, excellent straw strengthand limited evaluation in NVT shows amoderate yield potential. Seed availablethrough AGT (conditional Seed Sharingallowed).SOFT WHEATSBarham ABarham (VO2697R) is closely related toBowie but has CCN resistance, improvedrust resistance albeit MSS to the WA +Yr17 strain of stripe rust, improved grainyield and quality eligible for the ASFTgrade in SA.Barham is a mid season variety withsimilar maturity and plant type to Bowieand produces large grain with lowscreenings losses but low test weights likeBowie and is moderately susceptible toblack point. Barham was released by AGTand available through Seednet.Longreach Impala AImpala is an early to midseasonsoft biscuit (ASFT) wheat targeted toeastern Australia. Impala has mid-seasonmaturity, is susceptible to CCN, has goodstem and stripe rust resistance, but issusceptible to leaf rust. Impala produceslarge grain with improved test weightover Bowie and low screenings losses andis MRMS to black point.
