IntroductionNational Variety Trials seek to collect the most relevant varieties for each region and test them alongside the elite lines from the breeding programs. For all the information on the released varieties in the NVT trials in Queensland visit the NVT website (www.nvtonline.com.au).

2016 season Promising rainfall was forecast for April and May but did not eventuate and moisture-seeking options in these months tended towards chickpea plantings rather than wheat. Therefore very little early-season wheat was planted. Widespread rainfall in June resulted in good conditions for main-season wheat planting across most regions of Queensland. Rainfall totals for the months of June and July were well above average and created good early-season growth and potential for high yields. Mild spring conditions enabled the high yield potential to be realised but it did push harvest back a few weeks.

Sensitivity of wheat varieties to herbicidesSince 2003 the herbicide tolerance screening project, run by the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, has contributed tables that outline the sensitivity of wheat varieties to herbicides. The project management was altered last year and the 2016 data has not been incorporated as there is a review of the analysis for the project. As no new data is available the tables have not been included in this booklet but historical information can be accessed through the NVT website (www.nvtonline.com.au).

Disease characteristicsFor some parts of Queensland there was late plantings due to lack of early rains. However, once the rains started, south-east Queensland had the second-wettest winter on record and that

continued into spring. For those that never managed to sow in the optimum window, there were further delays due to the wet winter affecting paddock access. Despite the wet winter there were not widespread losses due to diseases.

Yellow spot was common on seedlings, but in most cases the disease did not progress as the plants developed through to adult stage and head emergence. Record rains in south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales in late spring saw yellow spot severity increase on the top three leaves of many wheat crops. However, as the crops were in advanced grain-fill when the disease increased, the window of opportunity for fungicide spraying was past. Significant levels of yellow spot inoculum will be present in over-summering wheat stubble so that wheat sown into wheat stubble in 2017 will, in most cases, have enough inoculum to cause seedling disease if conducive conditions are present. Seedling disease alone rarely results in disease losses. For yield losses to occur a wet spring will be needed for the disease to develop on adult plants and affect the top three leaves which are the leaves that drive yield. Previous advice on spraying is still valid: delay decisions on fungicide spraying for yellow spot control until plants are close to heading and when most of the yield-determining leaves have emerged.

Head diseases. Reports of trace levels of head diseases were common in 2016. This was due to the wet August and September. Surveys of selected south-east Queensland and northern NSW NVT sites and farmers’ crops showed trace levels of fusarium head blight and white grain. Percentages of heads affected were estimated to be in the low single digits and grain samples would have had much lower levels due to shrivelled seed being lost during harvest. It is clear that in wet springs the inoculum is there to infect wheat crops even when the diseases have not been seen in crops for several years.

False black chaff was the most common head disease. It is a physiological disorder causing brown/black, slight to extensive striations on the glume. It is a physiological disease associated with the stem-rust-resistance gene Sr2, which is common in Australian cultivars. It varies from season to season, but is most obvious in warm humid springs and in most cases is not thought to result in significant losses.

Crown rot. The mild, wet 2016 spring slowed plant maturity, but also disguised the amount of crown rot infection, as the lack of stress from grain-fill onward resulted in few whiteheads or tiller death. Crown rot survives for several seasons on decaying stubble from host cereal crops and from grass weeds in non-host crops. Infection of the stem bases of the young crop is high in a wet autumn/winter, but above-ground symptoms are normally only seen when the plant undergoes water stress at the end of the season. In 2016 there was a build up of high levels of crown rot inoculum and potentially could cause losses if 2017 has a normal to wet spring to initiate infection, followed by a dry finish. The Predicta®B service (http://pir.sa.gov.au/research/services/

Five new varieties were released in 2016 suitable for production in Queensland:

molecular_diagnostics/predicta_b) can provide information about potential crown rot levels in the soil so that decisions about sowing a non-host crop can be made.

Rusts. Historically, the spread of the stripe rust occurs in spring and, due to increasing temperatures, usually slows down from late October to early November. However, development and spread of wheat stripe rust in crops was delayed in 2016 and unsprayed crops showed little stripe rust so that standard spray applications kept the disease well controlled. As in recent years, pathotype 134 E16 A+ 17+ was the common pathotype along the east coast.

Leaf rust was seen in central Queensland, south-east Queensland and northern NSW in late winter. The pathotype was predominantly 104-1,3,4,6,7,8,10,12+Lr37, which was identified first in South Australia in 2014 and has since spread throughout the eastern cropping regions and as a result has increased the severity and incidence of leaf rust in Queensland. The 2016 Queensland variety guide was the first to update leaf-rust-resistance ratings to take into account the new pathotype.

Stem rust was not a problem in Queensland in 2016.

From seedling stage onward, regular scouting of crops should be made to determine if rust foci are developing and if the cultivar has less than an MR (moderately resistant) level of resistance, fungicide application should be considered.

Root-lesion nematodes (RLN) are widespread in the northern grain region and can significantly reduce wheat yields. RLN is also hosted by many non-cereal crops so that the absence of a winter-cereal crop in recent seasons does not mean that there are low levels of nematodes in the soil. A soil testing service for RLN is available through the Predicta®B service (http://pir.sa.gov.au/research/services/molecular_diagnostics/predicta_b). A test should be considered prior to planting if you do not know which species or the levels of the nematode that are on your farm. If wheat is to be sown in nematode-infested soil, the tolerant varieties (listed as T, TMT or MT and highlighted in green) should be considered for best yield. Also choose a variety that has a higher resistance rating to maximise yield and leave fewer nematodes in the soil to attack the next crop to be planted. The reaction of a wheat variety may differ to the two species of RLN, Pratylenchus thornei and P. neglectus. This should be checked in Tables 2A and 2B.

To avoid bunt, wheat seed should be treated with a fungicidal dressing if it has been saved from a crop grown from untreated seed.

Only varieties deemed suitable for conditions in the northern region (Queensland and northern NSW) have been included in this guide. If a variety is not mentioned, there is either no commercial seed available or there is concern that it may not carry robust rust resistances and may compromise the Queensland wheat industry. If seed of varieties not mentioned in this guide is obtained please ensure that you are provided with current and reliable rust information by the vendor.

General notesBread and noodle wheats (Triticum aestivum)Bread and noodle wheats are the dominant types of wheat planted throughout Queensland and Australia. They fall into a number of classifications that have different receival standards, from Australian Prime Hard (APH) with high-quality requirements through to FEED with limited quality requirements. Queensland conditions are conducive to the production of high-quality grain. The breeding and development of new varieties reflects this. Flour milled from APH wheat is used to produce high-protein, Chinese-style, yellow alkaline noodles and Japanese ramen noodles of superior brightness, colour and eating quality. APH flour is also

suitable for the production of high-protein, high-volume breads and wonton dumpling skins. APH can also be blended with lower-protein wheats to produce flours suitable for a wide range of baked products.

Durum wheats (Triticum durum)Durum wheats are used in the production of pasta products, where the main requirement is grain of high protein – preferably above 13% and a minimum of 11.5%. Grain appearance is also important; downgrading can occur due to higher screenings (maximum 5% for ADR1), low percentage of hard vitreous kernels (HVK, minimum 80% for ADR1), black point and weather damage. Acceptable levels of black point are as follows: ADR1 3%, ADR2 5% and ADR3 20%.

Soft wheats Soft wheats include two distinct types: the Soft Biscuit type (9 to 10% protein), suitable for use in the biscuit industry and the Soft Noodle type (9 to 11.5% protein), suitable for the manufacture of cakes, pastry and white salted noodles.

Soft Biscuit types are best grown using irrigation and suitable crop management to achieve target protein levels. Capped domestic market volumes exist and growers are therefore urged to seek pre-plant contracts.

Feed wheatsFeed wheats are generally high-yielding varieties that have quality limitations for use in flour and noodle production.

Forage wheats Forage wheats are commonly of the winter type and have the major advantage of adaptability to a wide range of sowing times. The winter habit delays maturity in early sowings, thus extending the period of vegetative growth. Maturity varies once vernalisation requirements have been met. Winter wheats are commonly sown in late March or early April.

Effects of grain defects on end product qualityBlack point – Excessive levels may result in specky semolina or discoloured bran, wheatgerm and divided flours (pastry flour). End products are often visually unattractive; this is particularly the case with durum products such as pasta.

Sprouting – (low falling number) – Finished product is affected by high levels of alpha amylase present in the flour, which causes keyholing in bread, fragile noodles, dark discoloured biscuits and cakes. Minimal impact on pasta except at FN (Falling Numbers) less than 200 seconds.

Frost damage – Can cause low FN, reduced flour yield, increased grain hardness and very poor baking performance – bread, biscuits and breakfast cereals.

Excess screenings – Reduced grain and flour yield (loss of profitability) but has little effect on end product quality (excluding excess screenings due to frost and heat stress damage). During the 2002 harvest it was observed that a number of samples tested with high screenings had poor baking quality. This was attributed to heat stress damage during grain filling, which was also believed to be responsible for the high screenings.

Low density (Test weight, kg/hl) – Reduced grain and flour yield (loss of profitability), has little effect on end product quality (excluding low density due to frost and heat stress damage).

Heat damage – (due to drying at temperatures above 60 degrees celsius) – flour produced from this grain is of poor baking quality and baked products are often unsaleable.

QUEENSLAND WHEAT VARIETIES 2017 6

Page 7: 2017 WHEAT VARIETIES - NVT Online...that wheat sown into wheat stubble in 2017 will, in most cases, have enough inoculum to cause seedling disease if conducive conditions are present.

Frost damage may be minimised by planting varieties within the range of dates recommended (see Table 1). This table was compiled from presently available data.

Planting categories

E = Early

Early-planted crops face the risk of frost damage from pre-flowering to grain-fill. Therefore, plant early in areas of low frost risk, such as higher slopes, and reduce the risk of frost damage by planting more than one variety and by varying planting times.

In Central Queensland, warm weather encourages rapid early plant development. Where possible, plant shallow into moisture and use press-wheels to aid establishment. Increase the plant population for all varieties to compensate for reduced tillering in warm growing conditions. Maturity groupings may differ from district to district, particularly from central to southern Queensland.

C = Conventional

Varieties sown at their most appropriate planting times flower after the main frost period, although late frosts may still cause damage.

L = Late

The reliability of yield can be low following a very late planting due to high temperatures during flowering and grain filling.

† Plant wheat varieties two weeks earlier in the West Moreton

NVT provides Estimated Genetic Values (EGVs) for grain yield for commercial varieties. Estimates of genetic value (yield) of individual varieties (on a state or region basis) have been obtained from a statistical analysis of long-term multi-environment trial (MET) data collected between the years of 2012 and 2016. The long-term yield tables summarise the EGVs in terms of a variety’s performance as a percentage of site mean yield. These values represent the best available predictions for the specified region and are provided to facilitate reliable variety selection decisions.

Page 15: 2017 WHEAT VARIETIES - NVT Online...that wheat sown into wheat stubble in 2017 will, in most cases, have enough inoculum to cause seedling disease if conducive conditions are present.

Locality based yield graphs – NVT wheat trials 2012–16The regional mean yields shown on pages 13 and 14 (Tables 4.1 to 4.6) average varietal performance across trial locations within each region. Averaging over locations within a region masks variety by environment interaction, that is, the ability of a variety to yield differently between locations or across seasons (years). The production value shown in the graphs below unlocks the variability in grain yield performance of each variety observed over different locations and seasons in the NVT trialling system. The production value (PV) is the varietal yield advantage (t/ha) of a variety at an environment. The PVs are shown as positive or negative differences relative to a baseline, which reflects the expected average yield of all the varieties tested in each environment. Varieties may be viewed as having expected yields that are equal

The NVT LONG-TERM YIELD REPORTS provide Australian growers and advisers with the best available tool for making variety selection decisions based on crop yield. Information is available for all cropping regions in Australia for 10 crops: wheat, barley, canola, oats, triticale, chickpeas, field peas, faba beans, lentils and lupins.

The CROP DISEASE AU application has been developed by the Australian National Variety Trials program (NVT) and funded by the GRDC. It provides access to up-to-date variety information from the NVT database, as well as current disease-resistance ratings, disease information and an extensive disease image library.
