Breeding Wheat Varieties for District Climate at Werribee Farm
Messrs Forster and Vasey report results from five years of crop data at Werribee State Research Farm and other plots. Seeding rates and manuring influence stooling and heading under varying climates, guiding drought resistant selection. In wet areas aim for more stools. in dry regions conservative stooling and vegetative growth protect yields. The study defines survival value as heads per stool, indicating drought resilience and aiding varietal choice. Older sappy types like Purple Straw remain high stoolers. newer Australian crosses show reduced stools per plant. Results show September rainfall shapes potential yield, October rainfall governs grain number, and November grain size. crop density hinges on ear fertility and cultivation, while ear number is largely farmer-controlled.
