Key features
APH wheat
• a mid to late maturing line which is responsive to
temperature (see maturity section below)
• APH classification in Northern and South Eastern
Zones (All NSW and QLD)
• excellent grain package with good protein delivery,
good grain size and low screenings

Maturity
Lancer’s maturity is controlled
by moderate vernalisation (cold
period) requirement. This means that it is not suited to
planting earlier in April as varieties sown in this window
need stronger controls to hold heading until spring.
Once Lancer’s moderate vernalisation requirement
has been met, it’s speed of development is controlled
by temperature. This means Lancer will accelerate in
warmer seasons or hotter areas, and in these situations
seeding time may need to be delayed by a week.
Open the planting window
Lancer is an earlier planting, spring wheat with slower maturity
and APH grain quality. Lancer allows growers to open the wheat
planting window earlier, before the main season wheat plant.
With Lancer fronting the wheat sowing program, other main
season wheats can be sown at the optimal time, so there is
scope to lift whole farm wheat yields.
• solid Stripe rust resistance package based on Adult
Plant Resistance (MR) very good resistance to Stem
(R) and Leaf rust (R-MR)
• shorter canopy height with good resistance to lodging
• performs well under crown rot pressure (MS) and
leading tolerance to RLN (T-MT)
Tip
E = earlier than ideal
O = optimum planting time
L = later than ideal
Sow Lancer one week before Gregory in
general. The ideal starting date for most
of the NSW slopes is Anzac Day; for the warmer
areas further west, the first week of May.
Long term observations have shown:
• In Northern NSW, Lancer has a similar
maturity to Strzelecki and a few days longer
than Gregory and Sunvale.
• In Southern NSW, Lancer has a similar maturity
to Bolac and a few days longer than Gregory
and Sunvale.

Grower Report

Culcairn,
Southern NSW.
“
Lancer fits our need for an earlier sowing, high
yielding, high grain quality variety suited for our retained
stubble, continuous cropping program. Lancer was our
highest Gross Margin wheat in our 18 Ha test strip. The
crop never looked too bulky during the season, and the
yield were exceptional.
Soil type: grey loam pH 4.5 - 5.
Rainfall:
Dec-Mar 190mm April-Oct 312 mm
At Sowing: 1st wk May 2014 at 65 kg/ha
Fertility:
80 kg/ha MAP 60kg/ha urea PE
Paddock history: wheat/wheat/canola 2013
Yield and Quality: 4.5 T/ha tested as H2 (12.7% protein)

“
Lancer has been evaluated with the regions
growers over the last two years and we see it as a
potential replacement for Gregory. This year we’ll
increase our acreages again. It ticks the boxes for yield
performance, grain package and protein, ability to plant
early, short stature and water use effeciency. Growers
need to be aware it’s a temperature responsive variety.
Crown Rot is our No1. disease problem. 40 % of
paddocks in our region have moderate to high levels of
infection. Lancer has neglible yield loss to Crown Rot
and up to a 15% yield advantage over Gregory.

Lancer is already regarded by growers
as delivering the grade at harvest. It’s
not hard to see why when varieties
are compared for grain quality. Lancer
delivers good protein, is a standout
for low screenings and has good tests
weights to confirm in trials what growers
are seeing in headers. Lancer has also
coped well with wet weather at harvest
and looks to have a similar tolerance to
Gregory, which is regarded for holding on
to grain quality in wet years.

Lancer shows useful Crown Rot
tolerance (rated MS). Lancer’s Crown
Rot tolerance is further enhanced by
its useful RLN tolerance.RLN tolerance
has been shown in recent studies in
NNSW to be important for decreasing
the overall impact of Crown Rot.
Lancer has demonstrated minimal yield
loss to Crown Rot in trials designed to
evaluate Yield (loss) under Crown Rot
pressure. Shown in CAS trials opposite.
