This report is an evaluation of Lupin stage 3/4 advanced lines for National Variety Testing. The 2016 Dandaragan trial demonstrated relatively high yields. However the trial statistical analysis revealed a high level of variation in the results, thus rendering the findings of lower value than average in terms of attempting to select best performing breeding lines or cultivars. The 2016 trial was located in Dandaragan on brown grey sand to yellow brown sand at depth. 

The purpose of the wheat NVT trials at Dandaragan is to provide growers and their advisors with independent information on the performance of newly released varieties of canola relative to the current commercial varieties grown in the area. The intention is to have two years of data available on the NVT website at the time each new variety is made available for commercial production.The 2016 trial was located in Dandaragan on brown grey sand to yellow brown sand at depth.

Anecdotal evidence shows that wheat varieties released in WA are gradually changing from floppy to more erect leaves. This change in canopy architecture (mainly leaf erectness) could have significant impact on yield across the rainfall zones of WA. In other crops like rice and corn, an erect leaf canopy has significantly increased yield by 20% or more.

Local agronomists in the West Midlands area have noted over time nutrient levels such as phosphorus are declining in soils with high yield potential and increasing in low potential soils. Variable rate technology can assist replace P in the high zones and reduce P applied in the low performing zones reducing the risk of nutrient leaching and improving profitability for farmers. However there are still some barriers to adoption.
