New winter wheats add agility in low-rainfall regions
Long-season winter wheats have been trialled to give growers and agronomists in central and southern NSW new data on the opportunities they offer for managing increasingly unpredictable seasons. The research and trials from 2018–20 confirmed the risk-management value, and potential production gains, from varieties able to be sown early and with vernalisation traits that delay flowering until after the frost risk period.
