New Zealand Plant Breeding & Research Association - Autumn 2021-22 Cereal Performance trials (wheat & barley) report available


New Zealand
April 27, 2022

The latest cereal performance trial results have been published.

The annual independent trials have been running since the 1990s and brings valuable research to growers to assist their farm productivity and profitability.

New and improved varieties offer growers higher yield potential, disease and pest resistance and profitability.

For a breeding company to bring a new cultivar to the marketplace costs can exceed a million dollars and an investment of 8 to 10 years of R&D.

Crops involved in the trials include wheat (milling and feed) and barley (feed and malting). The field trials were hosted at a dozen sites across NZ, primarily in the Canterbury, South Canterbury and Southland regions and involved over 30 different cultivars.

The crops were sown in late April 2021 and harvested through to February 2022.
