2. Overview  What is “Production Value PLUS”  Season 2014: Regional Summary  PV Plus applied to NVT  Variety Comparisons  New Varieties

3. Production Value PLUS System New methodology = Production Value PLUS System Produces “Production Values” (PVs) in t/ha for all varieties for each environment (NVT year & site combination) Basic definitions: Variety PVs: are positive or negative differences relative to a base-line (PV = 0) PV = 0 Reflects the average expected yield of all the varieties in the current NVT data set, if grown in that particular environment

4. PV-PLUS is available on NVT online via the Yield App

23. 2014 Barley NVT Results Steven Tillbrook; Rachel Thomson Kalyx Australia

24. IMI tolerant barley Observe label timings for MRL’s Scope CL Plus – Very close to Buloke, head loss an issue. – Lower yielding than Hindmarsh. – Hindmarsh would have averaged a $70/ha greater return in the NVT trials over the last 5 years. New IMI tolerant varieties on the horizon (Intergrain)

27. Variety development Flinders – Accredited for malting – Good disease, longer season, yields well. La Trobe – Yields = Hindmarsh – Accredited for malting Compass – Malting accreditation due 2016, top of MET analysis, mid-maturity similar to Commander.

28. Litmus update Litmus recognised as having blue aleurone – Only completely white aleurone varieties meet current standards Yield advantage on acid soils Geraldton PZ has established a trial segregation for Litmus. AEGIC have been commissioned by Barely Australia to investigate market sensitivity to blue aleurone.

29. Key messages Hindmarsh still the a good option Awaiting market development of Flinders, La Trobe and Compass. Flinders and Compass are longer season may be suited to Eneabba and Badgingarra area. Malting varieties require more favourable premium to be competitive with Hindmarsh.
