This publication summarises information on current varieties of the major winter crops grown in Victoria. More detailed information on agronomic performance, pests and diseases can be obtained from a range of sources.

The DPI website at www.dpi.vic.gov.au publishes a range of Agriculture Notes under Crops and Pastures which provide some of this more detailed information and can be downloaded free of charge. A number of other websites are cited throughout this publication to direct growers to specific information sources. Local advisers are also a key resource for information relevant to individual localities.

The majority of variety trials presented in this book are sourced from the National Variety Trial (NVT) program. NVTs in Victoria are fully funded by Grains Research and Development Corporation and in 2010 were contracted to two Service Providers, Agrisearch Services Pty Ltd and South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI).
