Despite the poor weather in some regions spring wheat yields in Canterbury and Manawatu were up by
0.3 to 0.5 t/ha on the four year average yield. However the average yield for the Canterbury and
Southland spring barley trials was back by over 0.5 t/ha on the four year mean, although yields were
similar to the four year mean in the Manawatu. Looking at the four year spring barley means, Laureate, RGT Planet and numbered line SYN415-651 have performed consistently well in the regional results. Medium grade milling wheat cultivar Discovery and gristing variety Raffles have performed consistently above average across all regions tested in the spring wheat four year means.
