Wheat <strong>variety</strong> <strong>sowing</strong> <strong>guide</strong> <strong>2012</strong><br />

By Rob Wheeler, Senior Scientist,<br />

New Variety Agronomy Group, SARDI<br />

This <strong>sowing</strong> <strong>guide</strong> provides data<br />

and guidance on bread wheat and<br />

durum wheat varieties for <strong>sowing</strong><br />

in South Australia in <strong>2012</strong>.<br />

Since publication of the 2011 <strong>sowing</strong><br />

<strong>guide</strong>, three varieties, Estoc, Kord CL<br />

Plus and Justica CL Plus have been<br />

commercialised for specific application<br />

in SA.<br />

In previous years these may not have<br />

been listed, pending evaluation over<br />

many seasons, but since these have<br />

disease resistances,<br />

yield and quality<br />

combinations,<br />

important for the<br />

sustainability of SA<br />

wheat production,<br />

it has been decided<br />

they should be listed<br />

with comments<br />

to assist decision<br />

making.<br />

As with all new<br />

Rob Wheeler<br />

varieties, extensive state-wide evaluation<br />

within SARDI and National Variety Trials<br />

(NVT) over many seasons will provide<br />

more confidence in their suitability and<br />

any specific adaptational requirements.<br />

Further yield evaluation is needed for<br />

Kord CL Plus and Justica CLPlus, as each<br />

have currently only been evaluated for<br />

one year (2010) within National Variety<br />

Trials (NVT)<br />

Meanwhile further data from NVT<br />

has been gathered to support the new<br />

varieties AGT Katana, Mace and Scout<br />

as suitable to be grown in SA, and hence<br />

yield and other data for these is now<br />

included within these <strong>sowing</strong> <strong>guide</strong>s.<br />

Annuello, Young, AGT Scythe, Yenda<br />

and GBA Ruby have been removed<br />

from the <strong>2012</strong> <strong>sowing</strong> <strong>guide</strong> owing to<br />

their low and waning production, and<br />

because their agronomic characteristics<br />

are outclassed when compared with more<br />

recently released varieties.<br />

Varieties have been listed according<br />

Variety and current<br />

max. grade<br />

HARD<br />

Suitability and significant features<br />

AGT Katana Low to medium rainfall districts with potential premium returns under contract to Grain<br />

Pool<br />

Axe Low to medium rainfall districts, particularly areas with sharp dry finish, potential pre<br />

harvest sprouting risk<br />

Bolac High rainfall districts especially south east region and Kangaroo Island<br />

Catalina Medium to high rainfall districts<br />

Chara Medium to high rainfall districts especially south east region but below minimum<br />

standards for stripe rust resistance<br />

Correll All districts, avoid low test weight situations and wheat stubbles due to yellow leaf spot<br />

susceptibility<br />

Derrimut Medium to high rainfall districts but below minimum standards for stripe rust resistance<br />

Gladius All districts but avoid areas with potential pre harvest sprouting risk<br />

Clearfield JNZ Medium to high rainfall districts, imidazolinone tolerant but below minimum standards<br />

for stripe rust resistance<br />

Lincoln All districts but marginal grain size and potential pre harvest sprouting risk<br />

Mace All districts but well below minimum standards for stripe rust resistance, wheat on<br />

wheat option<br />

Peake Medium to high rainfall districts and marginal grain size<br />

Yitpi<br />

APW<br />

All districts, avoid wheat stubbles due to yellow leaf spot susceptibility and note well<br />

below minimum standards for stem rust resistance<br />

Espada All districts but avoid areas with a potential pre harvest sprouting risk<br />

Estoc All districts but note Pratylenchus neglectus susceptibility<br />

Frame All districts, but avoid <strong>sowing</strong> into wheat stubbles due to yellow leaf spot susceptibility<br />

Guardian Medium to high rainfall districts but below minimum standards for stripe rust resistance<br />

and marginal grain size<br />

Kord CL Plus All districts, imidazolinone tolerant but avoid areas with potential pre harvest sprouting risk<br />

Justica CL Plus All districts, imidazolinone tolerant but below minimum standards for leaf rust resistance<br />

Pugsley Medium to high rainfall districts but below minimum standards for stripe rust resistance<br />

Scout All districts, avoid wheat stubbles due to yellow leaf spot susceptibility and note below<br />

minimum standards for stripe rust resistance<br />

Wyalkatchem<br />

SOFT<br />

All districts but below minimum standards for stripe rust resistance and now also more<br />

susceptible to leaf rust<br />

Anlace Soft wheat producing districts, noting that seed must be treated for bunt control<br />

Barham Soft wheat producing districts and Bowie replacement but below minimum standards for<br />

stripe rust resistance<br />

Bowie<br />

DURUM<br />

Soft wheat producing districts but below minimum standards for stripe rust resistance<br />

Caparoi All durum districts<br />

Kalka All durum districts including boron toxic soils<br />

Hyperno All durum districts<br />

Saintly All durum districts and potential for hay production<br />

Tamaroi All durum districts although generally outclassed<br />

Tjilkuri All durum districts<br />
