Certainly has good global adaptation, but under Western Australian conditions, the yield of RGT Planet is poor compared to other barley options at sites which yield below 3t/ha. Be interesting to see RGT Planet compared to Australian developed cultivars in the same experiments.

I’ll be posting grain yield and quality data collected by DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock and through GRDC National Variety Trials (NVT) on the relative performance of 13008-18 soon. We have also assessed it for export hay.

Exciting times ahead Hiroshi Kubota. Love to hear more about your proposed R&D program.

All our DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock phenology data is found here - fp.dpird.app. Pick a commodity, choose an environment, and compare relevant varieties for sowing dates from early April to early July. In the case of barley we provide data for over 40 varieties.

The third barley/oat sowing date is now in the ground, with TOS1 sown on 05 April 2024 & TOS2 sown on 17 April 2024. 30 barley + 20 oat entries at Northam & Katanning. All supporting DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock "FlowerPower" tool - fp.dpird.app

Last of my ⁦DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock⁩ barley & oat management trials now sown (dry unfortunately) at Yerecoin. Others sites at Wongan Hills, Greenhills & Popanyinning all emerging on recent rains or with irrigation at Merredin. Pulling apart the latest genetics for our sowing guide.

Six weeks since germination for the Holt Rock & Wongan Hills Processed Oat Partnership (POP) DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock & InterGrain oat trials. Early biomass scored by NDVI. Researching options for the next yield gain in milling oats.

Barley phenology trials powering along at Northam. Mundah, Rosalind, Spinnaker & Stirling all surpassed awn peep with 05 April sowing. All reps of Combat, Compass, RGT Planet & 4 unreleased lines will be done next week. Five sowing dates in the ground with last on 03 July.

It has been at least 6 weeks since wet seeding or a germinating rain at several more of my trial sites. Oats-only sown by Eurofins Kalyx: Corrigin & Narrogin (POP funded with InterGrain). Barley + oats sown by DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock: Greenhills & Popanyinning (DPIRD & POP funded).

Someone asked me whether oats for grain respond the same way to N as barley—the answer is NO. In my experience, barley gains more grain yield with N application than oats. Implications - don't over-fertilise your grain oats. They don't need as much N as your barley.

Like barley - N lowers test wt & decreases plumpness. The impact on test wt was larger in oats. For every extra 50 kg N/ha applied, the test wt decreased by 1.4 kg/hL in Bannister & 1.1 kg/hL in Goldie compared to only 0.2 kg/hL in Maximus CL. Goldie is plumper than Bannister.

Here are the results from this evaluation of facultative winter barleys from Oregon. They behaved more like true winter (Cassiopee) than what we call facultative barley (Urambie). Back to the drawing board. There may be some value in the mild winter types, though.

Checking growth at the POP oat grain yield trial at Holt Rock - 15 weeks since emergence - looking great DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock InterGrain

Barley plots with flag leaves appearing or out at the DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock site at Popanyinning-E looking a treat given the rainfall to date. 13 weeks since seeding. Assessing the next generation of ‘malt’ varieties.

Another POP funded oat yield trial expanding our knowledge of oat yield pathways - this time at Narrogin - 14 weeks since seeding. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock InterGrain

14WAS NDVI done at the Corrigin POP-funded oat yield trial. 108 oat varieties from Australian & beyond. Another ripper trial - thanks to Eurofins Kalyx for seeding & managing this site. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock InterGrain

Are you going to OATSPO? Hamid & I will be there. Hamid will chat about our DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock study funded by POP, unlocking the yield vault of oats. There is a selection of oats from around the world to look at. I'll talk about Goldie at the ConsultAg site. Bring your questions.

Our DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock Greenhills oat site was seeded on opening rains on 06 May. 205 mm rain for the growing season. Varieties are differing in their phenology. Plots with 3 cuts are at 3 or more weeks after Z49, with 2 cuts have passed Z49, and with 1 cut haven't reached Z49 yet.

That time of the year - a matrix of crop maturities appears as the barley/oat crop dries & awaits harvest. Bigger differences in maturity in our oat material than in our barley material, although long-spring barley is still green compared to commercial springs. DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock

Essentially, what this body of DPIRD Broadacre - WA Grains & Livestock research suggests (relative to Bannister): 1. Goldie's N fertiliser package is similar, 2. Koala's N fertiliser package is also similar, but avoid > 100 kg N/ha, and 3. Minnie may benefit from slightly more N.
