Abstract
THE results of wheat variety trials at seven Research Stations in the medium and low rainfall areas for the years 1957, 1958 and 1959 are presented and discussed.
The trials are designed to give information on yield and flour quality of promising crossbreds originating from local breeding programmes and newly produced varieties from other parts of Australia.
Large scale variety trials are the final tests in the long process of selection and testing which is essential before a new crossbred can be released.
The new wheats are compared with standard ones under different conditions of soil and climate.
