Compass and Latrobe formed the leading two varieties Overall the warm and wet conditions over winter within most cropping regions except for the South were favourable for development of both spot East where, not surprisingly, they were marginally and net forms of net blotch which were the most prevalent diseases seen in barley trials in 2013.

Latrobe is derived from Hindmarsh showing similar Ranking just behind Fathom across all trials in 2013 wide adaptation and like Hindmarsh, is less suited was Skipper, another new potential malt variety to the sandy Mallee soils. LaTrobe performed well awaiting accreditation due in early 2015.

LaTrobe has a yield similarly to Commander and would be a useful similar disease resistance profile to Hindmarsh but alternative in lower rainfall environments. Skipper is more resistant to root lesion nematode but more has good resistance to both forms of net blotch, susceptible to leaf rust. LaTrobe has a short coleoptile, powdery mildew and CCN but is highly susceptible like Hindmarsh, and grain generally has good test to some strains of leaf rust and is susceptible to leaf weight but moderate plumpness and screenings. scald. It has very plump grain with improved test weight, retention and protein relative to Commander. Hindmarsh, the most widely grown commercial variety in SA, was third ranked in 2013 NVT and performed Two widely grown varieties in SA, Fleet and well throughout Mid North and Yorke Peninsula trials. Commander produced moderate yields in 2013 Hindmarsh has established itself as a widely adapted, trials when compared to the leading varieties. Fleet high yielding variety, suitable for most districts, continues to lead Commander in the drier Mallee and although its short height and slow early vigour may Central Eyre Peninsula environments and elsewhere preclude it from drier areas such as the Mallee and yields were similar with Commander leading in Lower Central and Upper Eyre Peninsula. Hindmarsh has a Eyre Peninsula. Fleet has early to mid season maturity, food grade classification that may attract a premium performs well across a range of soils including light over feed and as such Hindmarsh will be one of sandy soils and has an excellent spectrum of foliar the most profitable options for most districts. and root disease resistances although now shows high susceptibility to net form net blotch.
