2014 NVT ResultsSteven Tilbrook; Rachel ThomsonKalyx Australia

OverviewWhat is “Production Value PLUS” Season 2014: Regional SummaryPV Plus applied to NVTVariety ComparisonsNew Varieties

Production Value PLUS System

New methodology = Production Value PLUS System

Produces “Production Values” (PVs) in t/ha for all varieties for each environment (NVT year & site combination)

Basic definitions:

Variety PVs: are positive or negative differences relative to a base-line (PV = 0)

PV = 0 Reflects the average expected yield of all the varieties in the current NVT data set, if grown in that particular environment

PV-PLUS is available on NVT online via the

Yield App

Corack or Mace???

New main season (mid maturity) Varieties to watch…

Hydra APW: Bonnie Rock/ Strzelecki, mid season, good disease package, regional adaptability.Impress CL Plus APW: Very much a Wyalkatchem type. Great foliar package especially yellow spot, good grain size.

CLEARFIELD

2014 Barley NVT ResultsSteven Tillbrook; Rachel ThomsonKalyx Australia

IMI tolerant barley• Observe label timings for MRL’s• Scope CL Plus

– Very close to Buloke, head loss an issue. – Lower yielding than Hindmarsh.– Hindmarsh would have averaged a $70/ha greater return

in the NVT trials over the last 5 years. • New IMI tolerant varieties on the horizon (Intergrain)

Variety development• Flinders

– Accredited for malting– Good disease, longer season, yields well.

• La Trobe– Yields = Hindmarsh– Accredited for malting

• Compass– Malting accreditation due 2016, top of MET analysis, mid-maturity

similar to Commander.

Litmus update• Litmus recognised as having blue aleurone

– Only completely white aleurone varieties meet current standards

• Yield advantage on acid soils• Geraldton PZ has established a trial segregation for Litmus. • AEGIC have been commissioned by Barely Australia to

investigate market sensitivity to blue aleurone.

Key messages• Hindmarsh still the a good option • Awaiting market development of Flinders, La Trobe and

Compass. • Flinders and Compass are longer season may be suited to

Eneabba and Badgingarra area.• Malting varieties require more favourable premium to be

competitive with Hindmarsh.
