Yowie is a fully awned, medium-tall, modest yielding variety, with relatively good test weight and low screenings recorded from its initial year of evaluation in the 2010 NVT trials. However further evaluation for yield and disease is required. A PBR variety, seed is available from Cooper & Elleway. Tahara and Tickit Tahara has long been the comon triticale variety for use in cereal rotations in most districts up to 500 mm average annual rainfall. However one notable disadvantage of the variety is that lodging can be a problem under high yielding situations. Tickit was released by the University of Adelaide triticale breeding program in 2002 to replace Tahara offering slightly shorter plant with stiffer straw and a 2% yield advantage to Tahara. Both Tickit and Tahara offer good resistance to CCN and root lesion nematode (Pratylenchus neglectus) making them a valuable disease break, however both are now moderately susceptible to stripe rust and outclassed by the newer grain varieties for yield. Seed of Tahara and Tickit may be purchased from commercial growers. Kosciuszko and Treat These two varieties are medium maturing, grain only varieties which do not have CCN resistance. Kosciuszko is very susceptible to susceptible to stripe rust, whereas Treat has moderate rust resistance with excellent test weights. Tuckerbox Tuckerbox is a late-medium season, tall, high tillering variety with reduced awn head type, which may be grown for forage or grain. Released in 2010, Tuckerbox has good resistance to all rusts and CCN. However further evaluation is still required.Tuckerbox is a PBR variety with seed royalty only, and is marketed by Seed Distributors. Yukuri Yukuri originated from the University of New England in 2004, and is a latemedium season variety with reduced awn head type, suitable for forage and grain production in environments with 450 mm+ rainfall. It has very good rust resistance, but is susceptible to CCN. Non-PBR variety handled by Seed Distributors. Long term NVT data is not yet available for Tuckerbox and Yukuri, however both feature in the 2011 SA NVT trials. Dual purpose grazing/grain varieties Dual purpse varieties all have high dry matter production, on a par with forage oats and are considered to provide a good alternative as a hay crop, but generally require early sowing or a longer growing season to achieve good grain production. Jackie and Breakwell, released by the University of Sydney in 2001 and 2005 respectively, are CCN resistant with reduced awns and have proven suitable for quality hay production in the mid north of SA. They are now highly susceptible to stripe rust and therefore no longer recommended. Recent releases include Crackerjack in 2004 by Heritage Seeds, Endeavour and Tobruk in 2007 by the University of Sydney. Endeavour has reduced awns and Tobruk is fully awned, with both being long season varieties targeted to the higher rainfall regions and offering potential for hay production. Endeavour has good rust resistance, while Tobruk is now susceptible to stripe rust. Tobruk has performed at its best in the higher rainfall regions of SA, but overall appears to have a fit in SA offering a genuine dual purpose and longer season grain only variety. Certified seed for these two varieties can be obtained from Waratah Seed Co. Ltd. Crackerjack is another fully awned winter type triticale used for forage production in long season high rainfall environments and is marketed by Heritage Seeds. Long term yields are not yet available for Endeavour and Crackerjack, as they have not been widely evaluated across seasons within SA NVT and therefore further evaluation is needed.
