Breeder Mr Robin Wilson
Target Regions
Victoria, Central and Southern New South Wales. Breeding aims Yield and adaptation
• High Yield • Adaptation to range of soil types with particular emphasis on Wimmera clays and Mallee soils • Tolerance to:-
• Range of maturities to suit different sowing times Disease resistance • Stem, leaf and stripe rust • Yellow Spot • Cereal Cyst Nematode • Crown Rot • Pratylenchus spp • Septoria Tritici Quality • Australian Hard • Australian Premium White • Prime Hard • Feed InterGrain is collaborating with DAFWA, Murdoch University and the Pork Cooperative Research Centre to evaluate advanced wheat breeding lines for suitability for pig rations, using chemical analysis for feed characteristics, including starch, protein, amino acids, fat and fibre components and the CRC's commercial NIR calibrations for DE (AusScan) to screen material. This will be followed by confirmation in-vivo testing on the most promising material. Herbicide Resistance • Clearfield • New Varieties are monitored for tolerance to herbicides routinely applied to wheat |
