INTRODUCTIONThis publication summarises information on currentvarieties of the major winter crops grown in Victoria.More detailed information on agronomic performance,pests and diseases can be obtained from a range ofsources.The DPI website at www.dpi.vic.gov.au publishes arange of Agriculture Notes under Crops and Pastureswhich provide some of this more detailed informationand can be downloaded free of charge. A number ofother websites are cited throughout this publication todirect growers to specific information sources. Localadvisers are also a key resource for informationrelevant to individual localities.An important role of the Winter Crop Summary is tooffer a guide to crop variety choice. Each crop chaptercovers the important attributes of varieties in currentuse and the expectations for new releases. Thisinformation is summarised in text and tables. Theemphasis is on yield and quality performance as ratedby marketing agencies and end-users and on reactionto diseases.At the time of printing, varieties which are subject topBR are annotated with the symbol . It should benoted that ‘Unauthorised commercial propagation orany sale, conditioning, export, import or stocking ofpropagation material of these varieties is aninfringement under the Plant Breeders Right Act 1994& that any breaching of pBR law is punishable by amaximum $50 000 fine for each offence’The majority of variety trials presented in this book aresourced from the National Variety Trial (NVT)program. NVTs in Victoria are fully funded by GrainsResearch and Development Corporation and in 2010were contracted to two Service Providers, AgrisearchServices Pty Ltd and South Australian Research andDevelopment Institute (SARDI).National Variety Trials provide independentinformation on varieties for growers. The aim of eachNVT is to document, for growers, a ranking of newand widely adopted varieties in terms of grain yieldand to provide grain quality information relevant todelivery standards. Detailed information from the NVTprogram is available on their website,www.nvtonline.com.au.Conducted to a set of predetermined protocols, NVTsare sown and managed as close as possible to localbest practice such as sowing time, fertiliserapplication, weed management and pest and diseasecontrol. NVTs are not designed to grow varieties totheir maximum yield potential. Fungicides were notused on cereal trials but were applied to pulse trials,only as required.It is acknowledged that an ongoing project of this typewould not be possible without the cooperation offarmers prepared to contribute sites and who oftenassist with the management of trials on their property.At the time of printing, grain quality data and long termcomparative yield data which incorporates the 2010trials was not available. The long term data presentedis for trials between 2000 and 2009. The long termyield comparisons incorporating 2010 data and grainquality data will be available from NVTOnline atwww.nvtonline.com.au or the text of this publicationwill be updated with the 2010 results and publishedonline at www.dpi.vic.gov.au and look under GrainCrops.If this publication prompts readers to ask morequestions of their consultants, advisers and marketingagents as part of a decision to modify their paddockmanagement, change to a new variety or try a newcrop, then it has fulfilled its purpose.
