Introduction

The NVT Harvest Report – Central New South Wales provides information to support growers and advisers with decisions on variety selection for Central New South Wales. The information has been generated from the Grains Research and Development Corporation’s (GRDC) National Variety Trials (NVT) database. This publication provides a summary of the 2024 and long-term yield performance of varieties of crop species suitable for production in Central New South Wales together with their quality and disease responses.

The NVT program provides growers and advisers with comparative results on yield performance, quality and disease resistance ratings of commercially available grain varieties that is independent, consistent, timely and robust.

Conducted to a set of predetermined protocols, trials are sown and managed to reflect local best practice such as sowing time, fertiliser application, weed management, pest/disease control and fungicide application. The NVT is not designed to grow varieties to their maximum yield potential.

GRDC recognises that sustaining a project of this nature hinges on the collaboration of growers who willingly provide sites and often lend a hand in trial management on their properties. Equally significant is the partnership with seed companies who supply seed of commercial varieties and experimental lines to the program.

Interpreting long-term yield results

A factor analytic (FA) mixed model approach is used in the multi-environment trial (MET) analysis conducted by GRDC, supported by the Analytics for the Australian Grains Industry (AAGI).

This approach generates long-term MET values for varieties at an individual trial level.

This format provides more detailed results to better understand a variety’s performance over several years at the individual trial/environment level, rather than just a single averaged value.

In the NVT Harvest Report – Central New South Wales, results are presented in year groupings for yield for the past five years and quality for the past two years. Further detailed interrogation of the NVT Online results using the Long Term Yield Reporter will provide more specific performance results on all varieties of each crop species in each NVT location throughout Central New South Wales.

The results presented in this Harvest Report are based on the default filters in the Long Term Yield Reporter. In some cases, trial results are excluded because they do not meet the default standards for statistical validity. These are listed in the tables as ‘Trial results below standard’. Trials below standard can be viewed by reducing the default VAF settings within the Long Term Yield Reporter.

Trials listed as compromised are not suitable for making variety decisions. Results can be found in the Quarantined trial reports.

NVT 20th anniversary

In 2025, the National Variety Trials (NVT) proudly celebrates 20 years of empowering Australian grain growers and their advisers with trusted, independent results to support varietal decision-making.

Established in 2005 by the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC), the NVT program has evolved into the largest coordinated variety trial network in the world. Each year, more than 640 trials are conducted across over 300 locations nationwide, encompassing 10 different crop species. Over the past two decades, NVT has been a transformative force, providing growers with credible insights into newly released varieties that drives the rapid adoption of superior genetics.

The success of NVT is a testament to the collaborative efforts of many. GRDC extends heartfelt thanks to the growers, GRDC staff and panellists, service providers, trial hosts, breeding companies and members of the NVT Advisory Committee who have been instrumental in this journey. Your dedication has delivered exceptional outcomes, advancing the productivity and profitability of Australian grain growers and strengthening the grains industry as a whole.

As we mark this significant milestone, GRDC celebrates the achievements of NVT and looks forward to continuing to deliver game-changing innovations for Australia’s grains sector in the years to come.

wheat variety quality - Central New South Wales

Grain quality for individual varieties varies from site to site and from year to year. However, long-term and across-site trends highlight varieties that can consistently achieve high protein percentage, high test weight or low grain screenings under a wider range of environments.

The following figures show the grain quality trends as histograms from 2023 and 2024 NVT averaged for trials in the Central New South Wales region. Only the varieties evaluated at every site are included. These are plotted in order of performance, up to a maximum of 20.

Protein and yield comparisons

wheat Optimum Time of Sowing - An example for Central New South Wales

To achieve flowering in the ideal window and maximise yield, the optimum time of sowing is based on a combination of variety maturity and environment.

Growers and advisers are encouraged to use the Crop Flowering Calculator to compare the impact of specific variety selection and sowing date for the ideal flowering window at their own location. The Crop Flowering Calculator is a simple phenology (maturity) model that uses 60 years of local weather data to calculate a range of possible flowering dates for a specific environment for wheat, barley and canola.

The Crop Flowering Calculator helps optimise sowing programs by finding the variety or sowing time that best matches the optimal flowering window for a specific location. Select a location and crop type and then either ‘Find a Variety’ (to match a fixed sowing date), or find ‘When to Sow’ (to match a fixed variety). This time of sowing guide is automatically generated from the database that underpins the Crop Flowering Calculator. The guide presents the optimal sowing windows for generic varieties for a single location.

The Crop Flowering Calculator integrates the scientific outputs from several GRDC projects and Initiatives (CSP00187, CSP1901-002RTX, UOM1806-001RTX and CSP2206-012RTX) and brings together the diverse aspects of crop phenology (genetics, physiology and agronomy). This tool has been supported by CSIRO in partnership with GRDC through CSP2206-012RTX.

Disclaimer: This Crop Flowering Calculator is a work in progress and is still undergoing development. The results provided have not yet been fully validated and should be interpreted with caution and used at your own discretion.

Variety	Breeding Company	Grain classification	End point royalty^* ($)	Comments supplied by breeding company¹
AGT-Spirit^(PBR)	Australian Grain Technologies Pty Ltd		4.1	- Carries a novel distilling quality trait (non-glycosidic nitrile) desirable in discerning markets - Elite malting quality - Agronomically very similar to RGT Planet, with slightly slower maturity - Opportunity for growers in SA/Vic to produce under contract for maltsters - Official malt quality classification pending - outcome expected 2026
Gretchen	Australian Grain and Forage Seeds Pty Ltd	Long	4	Gretchen (tested as AGFBA021022) is a high yielding, mid-late maturity variety suited for the medium to high rainfall zones (similar head emergence timing as RGT Planet). In national trials, Gretchen has demonstrated strong grain yield and disease resistance improvements (Scald and Net Form Net Blotch) compared to RGT Planet. Gretchen has high quality malting characteristics and is currently being evaluated to enter the Barley Australia malt accreditation program in 2026/27.
Kirwan CL	Intergrain Pty Ltd	Early	4.1	Kirwan CL is an acid tolerant IMI tolerant barley ideally suited to acidic, high aluminum soils in Western Australia. It is broadly adapted and suitable for tough conditions, out-yielding Buff and Litmus. Kirwan CL has an intermediate growth habit and good disease resistance to net form net blotch (MR-MSp), powdery mildew (MRMSp) and scald (MRMSp). However, it is susceptible to spot form of net blotch (Sp).
Rocket CL	Intergrain Pty Ltd		4.35	Rocket CL is a quick maturing IMI tolerant barley with outstanding yield potential, ideal for lower rainfall regions and late sowing windows. It offers strong resistance to net form of net blotch (MRMS-MSp), and improved lodging tolerance and head retention compared to Commodus CL. Rocket CL boasts excellent physical grain quality and is currently undergoing malt accreditation, with the earliest possible approval expected by March 2028.
Soldier CL	Intergrain Pty Ltd		4.35	Soldier CL is a mid-slow maturing IMI tolerant barley with high yield potential, excellent lodging tolerance and strong head retention. It performs best in environments prone to lodging. Soldier CL offers strong disease resistance, particularly for net form net blotch (MR^), and features excellent grain quality. Soldier CL has been entered into malt accreditation with the earliest possible accreditation in March 2028.
Ember	Intergrain Pty Ltd	Long season spring	3.75	Ember is a slow maturing spring feed barley with excellent yield potential, well suited to high rainfall zones. It is 7-10 days slower to mature than Neo CL and suited for early sowing opportunities and to help manage frost risk. Ember has a good disease resistance profile including useful levels of resistance to scald (MRMS), leaf rust (MRMS), powdery mildew (MRMS) and NFNB (MRMS-MSS).
AGT-Bunyip IA^(PBR)	Australian Grain Technologies Pty Ltd	2	5.5	- A world first dual herbicide tolerant barley variety - ImiTol™ + CoAxium® - Tolerant to imidazolinone herbicides and Aggressor® herbicide - Offers flexibility to manage imidazolinone carry-over in soil and also manage problem weeds in-crop - Higher yielding than most widely grown variety Maximus CL, with very wide adaptation - Similar plant type and maturity to Maximus CL - Compact plant type, offering better standability than taller varieties such as Titan AX - Has entered the Grains Australia malt accreditation program but is currently deliverable as Barley/Feed
