Listen "SAGIT Podcast #8 - Awnless wheat varieties - Bertus Jacobs"
Episode Synopsis
Awned wheat delivers high quality grain, but the downside is, if it’s damaged by frost, it can’t be cut for feed because the spiky awns can damage animals’ throats.
In this podcast episode, Dr Bertus Jacobs from Longreach Plant Breeders, talks about the development of high quality awnless varieties currently undergoing classification for release in 2025.
Not only do these new varieties have attractive frost management qualities, but their grain yield are equal to the best varieties currently available. As Australia’s climate changes and we experience more extreme weather conditions, these varieties will play an important role.
----------
On average, SAGIT invests $2 million a year in supporting research crucial to advancing South Australia’s $4.6 billion grain industry.
These projects deliver real improvements in countless areas of grain growing, farming systems, soil management, harvesting, storage, processing and marketing, and they also provide technical information to growers.
