EGA Bonnie Rock A - A good variety to consider where Black Point is a major limitation.
EGA Eagle Rock A - For the suggested varieties this represents the best available resistance to all three rusts.
GBA Ruby A - An ASW wheat with rust resistance. Has yielded well in one year of widescale testing with further testing currently being conducted.
WAWHT2499 - Not suggested for this area as very susceptible to pre-harvest sprouting.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
For boron toxic soils in the M5W area Wyalkatchem A, Spear, Stiletto and Camm A could be considered.
Brookton, Harrismith A, and Westonia - Have been removed from the variety suggestions due to their very high suscepti- bility to stripe rust.
Camm A - Is still one of the best options for early May sowings, but growers should be prepared to spray if leaf and/or stem rust develops.
EGA2248 A - Is a high yielding non-club variety with susceptibility to both leaf and stripe rusts. It can be grown under contract administered by the Department of Agriculture Western Australia with a designated rust management package.
EGA Eagle Rock A - Rust resistance and sprouting tolerance of this variety may bring it into consideration. Further testing is being conducted.
GBA Sapphire A - An APW wheat with rust resistance. Has yielded well in this Agzone in one year of widescale testing.
Further testing is being conducted.
WAWHT2499 A - Not suggested for this area as very susceptible to pre-harvest sprouting.
Weed Management Options - EGA Eagle Rock A has tolerance to metribuzin (group C) that can be used to control different grassy weeds (eg brome grass, barley grass, silver grass, ryegrass) and it has some activity on wild radish. Clearfield JNZ A (A.Hard) and Clearfield STL A (APW) are imidazolinone herbicide tolerant lines very similar in yield performance to Janz and Stiletto respectively.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Hectolitre weight of varieties should be considered.
For boron toxic soils Wyalkatchem A, Spear, Stiletto and Camm A could be considered.
Brookton and WAWHT2499 - Not suggested for this area as very susceptible to sprouting.
Camm A - Is still one of the best options for early May sowings, but growers should be prepared to spray if leaf and/or stem rust develops.
EGA Bonnie Rock A - Is not suggested for growing in this zone due to its susceptibility to stripe rust.
H45 A - Promising yield but very susceptible to stripe rust, tendency to produce high screenings.
Mitre A - Has a tendency to produce high screenings.
Yitpi A - Data indicates promising yield, but is susceptible to stem rust.
Westonia - Has been removed from the variety suggestions due to its very high susceptibility to stripe rust and stem rust.
Wyalkatchem A - A new strain of stem rust that attacks this variety was detected in 2003.
Weed Management Options - EGA Eagle Rock A has tolerance to metribuzin (group C) that can be used to control different grassy weeds (eg brome grass, barley grass, silver grass, ryegrass) and it has some activity on wild radish. Clearfield JNZ A (A.Hard) and Clearfield STL A (APW) are imidazolinone herbicide tolerant lines very similar in yield performance to Janz and Stiletto respectively.
A. Soft - Later sowings may result in generally higher grain protein and smaller grain in club varieties (eg Datatine). This could result in deliveries not being accepted for the A. Soft grade.
Noodles - This grade is subject to differential premiums paid by variety. Check latest information from AWB Ltd.

T RITICALE
Triticale (Tritosecale) is the result of an artificial (man-made) cross between wheat (Triticum) and cereal rye (Secale). It is widely adapted to a range of rainfall and soil types.
Triticale may be a more viable alternative than wheat, barley or oats on problem soils, and may out-yield wheat on more fertile soil types. Yield advantages of growing triticale (instead of wheat) generally decreases with rainfall.
Triticale has a reputation for being a better survivor and yielder than other cereals under adverse conditions such as waterlogging, early drought, or on soils of low fertility. Low fertile soils include those with low and high pH (highly acidic or alkaline soils), boron toxic soils, sodic soils, light erodable sands and low nutrient status soils.
Triticale is used mainly as an animal feed grain. In the feed industry, triticale grain is used for both ruminants and non- ruminants . More detail on the quality of triticale as a feed grain is available in ‘TRITICALE -A Guide to the use of Triticale in Livestock Feeds’ prepared by Robert van Barneveld
V
ARIETIESMost modern varieties of triticale are resistant to stripe rust, stem rust and leaf rust. Many varieties have a moderate or better level of resistance to Cereal Cyst Nematode (CCN) and triticale is generally a poor host of the root lesion nematode (Pratylenchus neglectus). A useful level of resistance to Septoria tritici and S. nodorum is also present in most varieties. Crown rot resistance is variable and take-all will affect triticale.
In Western Australia, long season varieties of triticale such as Abacus often suffer from small grain size and increased screenings, even in high rainfall areas.
Tahara - an early to mid season variety which is the most widely adapted to Western Australia. It has resistance to stem, leaf and stripe rust, CCN and is a poor host of the root lesion nematode Pratylenchus neglectus. Lodging is a problem in high rainfall areas (greater than 550mm) or where yields are above 4 t/ha. Suitable for the low and medium rainfall regions, or in the high rainfall area where yields are not expected to exceed 4 t/ha.
Muir - a Western Australian bred variety. Widely adapted, early to mid-season maturity. Resistant to stem, leaf and stripe rust. A poor host of the root lesion nematode Pratylenchus neglectus. Has very good straw strength (no lodging) and moderate CCN resistance. Suitable for wetter areas or high yielding crops (>4 t/ha) where Tahara will lodge.
Abacus - long season maturity (around +5 days on Spear wheat). Resistant to stem, leaf and stripe rust, and a poor host of the root lesion nematode Pratylenchus neglectus.
Bred for the 600-1000mm rainfall area, it has very strong
straw strength and is difficult to harvest with old harvesters.
Suitable for the very high rainfall area and also the high rainfall area where the season breaks early or finishing rains are reliable
Credit - a South Australian replacement for the variety Currency which is rust susceptible. Credit is resistant to stem, leaf and stripe rust. Short to mid-season maturity, tillers more than Tahara. Has a moderate level of CCN resistance. Likely to be the most suitable for the medium to high rainfall areas.
Treat - a South Australian bred triticale released in 1998.
Treat is reputed to have a higher hectolitre weight than Tahara and a smoother seed compared to other triticales. In the high rainfall areas, Treat tillers more and has a stronger straw strength than Tahara. Likely to be suitable for a range of rainfall areas. Treat matures a few days earlier than Tahara and will out yield Tahara in the high rainfall areas. Available from Plantech.
Tickit - a variety released in 2001 as a replacement for Tahara with slightly higher yield, similar test weight, and stronger straw strength. Bred by Dr K. Cooper in South Australia and tested for a number of years in Western Australia. This variety shows great uniformity in height.
Everest - released as a public variety in 1999, by the Univer- sity of New England, Armidale, NSW. Everest is both a very tall variety (taller than Tahara) and has the highest test weight. However it’s high test weights can’t be maintained in water stressed environments. Everest is not resistant to CCN. Everest has performed favourably with respect to Tahara’s yield across Australia in both high and low rainfall environments.
PRIME 322 - a medium season grain triticale, release by Sydney University in 2001. Not CCN resistant.
Speedee - an early maturing variety released in 2002 which may be well suited to low rainfall areas of W.A. It is under trial in the central agricultural region in 2003 - contact Milne Feeds Group.
M
ANAGEMENTIn rotation, triticale should be grown after a grain legume or manipulated pasture. With triticale’s good early vigour and relatively aggressive root system, it can be used on light soils to help bind the soil and prevent erosion.
While triticale is more tolerant than other cereals to early droughts, it has a longer grain filling period than other cereals and is more sensitive to moisture stress during this period than wheat. Due to this, an early finish to the season or late sowings of triticale are likely to result in smaller grain (lower hectolitre weight) and higher screenings. To avoid low hectolitre weights, select sowing times with care.
Triticale is as susceptible to frost damage as wheat.
