2020 Western Australian Crop Sowing Guide

This edition of the 2020 Crop Sowing Guide includes the major crops grown in WA - wheat, barley, canola, oat and now a new section on lupin and pulses. The publication aims to provide information to support growers with decisions on the best choice of variety for each of the major crops for the upcoming season. The lupin and pulse sections also include an agronomy guide summary to support management decisions required for these high-valued crops.https://researchlibrary.agric.wa.gov.au/bulletins/1265/thumbnail.jp

Wheat variety guide for WA 2011

The wheat variety guide summarises performance characteristics of commercially available wheats which have undergone testing in the National Variety Trials Project (NVT), breeding organisations crop variety testing and Department of Agriculture and Food (DAFWA) variety specific agronomy projects. This information includes variety summaries, agronomic, disease and herbicide tolerance characteristics and medium to long-term yield performance. A review of regional performance in 2010 is followed by a comprehensive summary of 2010 variety time of sowing experiments and observed flowering dates. By combining agronomy research outcomes with other related wheat research this document provides current information to assist with variety choice and management for 2011.https://researchlibrary.agric.wa.gov.au/bulletins/1173/thumbnail.jp

Wheat variety guide 2008 Western Australia

This guide summarises performance characteristics of commercially available wheats and some pre-commercial lines. These lines have undergone testing in the National Variety Testing Project (NVT), Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia (DAFWA) wide-scale crop variety testing (CVT) and/or variety specific agronomy projects. This information includes variety summaries (Table 1), agronomic, disease and herbicide tolerance characteristics (Tables 2 to 4), medium- to long-term yield performance by wheat grade and Agzone (Tables 5 and 6).
