CENTRAL QUEENSLAND – NVT HARVEST REPORT 5
INTRODUCTION
This NVT Harvest Report provides information to support growers and advisers with decisions on variety selection for Central Queensland. The information has been generated from the Grains Research and Development Corporation’s (GRDC) National Variety Trials (NVT) database. This publication provides a summary of the 2019 and long-term yield performance of varieties of crop species suitable for production in Central Queensland together with their quality and disease responses.
The NVT program provides growers and advisers with comparative data on yield performance, quality and disease resistance ratings of commercially available grain varieties that is independent, consistent, timely and robust.
Conducted to a set of predetermined protocols, trials are sown and managed to reflect local best practice such as sowing time, fertiliser application, weed management, pest/disease control and fungicide application. The NVT is not designed to grow varieties to their maximum yield potential.
GRDC acknowledges that an ongoing project of this type would not be possible without the cooperation of growers prepared to contribute sites and who often assist with the management of trials on their property.
Refer to 2020 Queensland Winter Crop Sowing Guide for further information at grdc.com.au/queensland-winter-crop-sowing-guide.
INTERPRETING LONG-TERM YIELD DATA A factor analytic (FA) mixed model approach is used in the multi-environment trial (MET) analysis conducted by GRDC, supported by the Statistics for the Australian Grains Industry (SAGI) program. This approach generates long-term MET values for varieties at an individual trial level.
This format provides more detailed data to better understand a variety’s performance over several years at the individual trial/environment level, rather than just a single averaged value.
In this Central Queensland Harvest Report, results are presented for yield and quality in year groupings for 2019 and the previous four years. Further detailed interrogation of the NVT Online dataset using the NVT Long Term Yield Reporting Tool will provide more specific performance data on all varieties of each crop species in each NVT location throughout Central Queensland.

WHEAT VARIETY YIELD PERFORMANCE – CENTRAL QUEENSLANDThe following tables contain yield results from the top-performing varieties within each NVT location in Central Queensland for the past five seasons. Data is presented (as a percentage) for each variety relative to the mean trial yield for the location within each year. Varieties are listed in descending order of average yield over the period.
The performance of varieties not listed within these tables can be found by further interrogation of the NVT website via the links below each table.
Error bars, normally used to compare data, can be viewed within the graph option also found via the website links below each table.
Rainfall is provided for January to March (J–M) and April to October (A–O).

WHEAT VARIETY QUALITY – QUEENSLANDGrain quality for individual varieties varies from site to site and from year to year. However, long-term and across-site trends highlight varieties that can
consistently achieve either higher test weights or low grain screenings under a wider range of environments. The following figures show the grain quality trends as histograms from 2018 and 2019 NVT averaged for all trials in Queensland. Only the varieties evaluated at every site are included.

BARLEY VARIETY QUALITY – QUEENSLANDGrain quality for individual varieties varies from site to site and from year to year. However, long-term and across-site trends highlight varieties that can
consistently achieve higher test weights, low grain screenings or high retentions under a wider range of environments. The following figures show the grain quality trends as histograms from 2018 and 2019 NVT averaged for all trials in Queensland. Only the varieties evaluated at every site are included.

CHICKPEA
CHICKPEA VARIETY YIELD PERFORMANCE – CENTRAL QUEENSLAND The following tables contain yield results from the top-performing varieties within each NVT location in Central Queensland for the past five seasons. Data is presented (as a percentage) for each variety relative to the mean trial yield for the location within each year. Varieties are listed in descending order of average yield over the period.
The performance of varieties not listed within these tables can be found by further interrogation of the NVT website via the links below each table.
Error bars, normally used to compare data, can be viewed within the graph option also found via the website links below each table.
Rainfall is provided for January to March (J–M) and April to October (A–O).
Refer to 2020 Queensland Winter Crop Sowing Guide for further information at grdc.com.au/queensland-winter-crop-sowing-guide.
