New varieties available to consider, but not limited to:
Wheat
Varieties that provide either a significant yield lift over established benchmarks like Scepter, or offer flexible maturity windows and improved disease packages.
| New Variety |
|
Type & Class |
| Dale |
High Yield Potential. Shows a significant yield advantage (e.g., up to 7% over Scepter in some trials). Excellent yield stability, making it reliable in variable seasons. |
Main Season, AH |
| LRPB Matador |
Scepter Replacement. Based on the popular Scepter background but with improved yield potential and better Stripe Rust resistance (MS). |
Mid-Maturity, AH |
| Mowhawk |
Early Sowing Flexibility. A “Quick Winter” maturity variety, suited for very early planting/early-break scenarios to maximize the growing season. |
APW |
| Dozer CL+ |
Weed Control. Clearfield (IMI) tolerance for enhanced weed management options, coupled with a quick-mid maturity and good standability. |
Quick-Mid, APW, IMI Tolerant |
| Genie |
High Rainfall/High Yield. An exceptionally high-yielding, mid-slow variety that can deliver 1-2% more than RockStar in higher production environments (e.g., $3 \text{t/ha}$+ zones of the Mid North). |
Mid-Slow, AH |
| Colt |
Mid-Slow maturity (April sowing) similar to Yitpi – AH quality with low screenings – Colt enjoys and performs well in longer/softer seasons. In shorter and tougher seasons it may be outperformed by Rockstar. |
Mid-Slow, AH |
| Rio |
Good Disease resist., higher yielding environments – Very high yields in medium-high rainfall , APW quality , low screening, high test weight, compact plant type, tolerance to lodging |
Mid-slow, APW |
| Shotgun |
Septre replacement , new yield benchmark – popular variety last season
|
Mid-Maturity, AH |
Barley
Varieties with improved yield, CCN resistance, and the emergence of dual herbicide tolerance for maximum weed control flexibility.
| New Variety |
|
Type & Class |
| Neo CL |
Massive Yield & CCN Resistance. InterGrain data suggests up to 10% yield improvement over RGT Planet and offers outstanding resistance to Cereal Cyst Nematode (CCN), a major issue in the Mid North. IMI tolerant. |
Mid Spring, IMI Tolerant (Malt in evaluation) |
| AGT-Bunyip IA |
Dual Herbicide Tolerance. The first variety globally with tolerance to both Imidazolinone (IMI) and Aggressor herbicides, providing maximum chemical rotation and weed knockdown options. |
Medium, Dual IMI/Aggressor Tolerant (Malt in evaluation) |
| Soldier Cl |
Mid-slow maturity, similar to Neo and Plant, suited to most medium to high rainfall, Clearfield variety, potential malt variety |
Mid-slow, Clearfield, |
| Rocket Cl |
### NOT AVAILABLE FOR 2026 SEASON – release delayed until 2027 |
Quick, low-med rainfall |
Canola
Varieties with improved yield, stacked herbicide tolerance to combat resistant weeds, and continued improvements in Blackleg resistance.
| New Variety |
|
Herbicide System |
| Hyola Battalion XC |
Dual Stacked Tolerance for Tougher Sites. Combines TruFlex (Glyphosate) and Clearfield (IMI) tolerance. Designed for low to medium rainfall zones (a good fit for the drier Mid North) to protect the crop in environments with IMI carryover. |
TruFlex + Clearfield (Dual) |
| Chronos TFI |
Dual Stacked Tolerance. A TruFlex (Glyphosate) and IMI herbicide-tolerant hybrid. Offers an additional new option in the stacked-trait category for flexible weed control. |
TruFlex + IMI (Dual) |
| Vesta IMI |
Solid Mid-Range IMI. An early-to-mid maturing hybrid for low to medium rainfall, with an ‘R’ (Resistant) Blackleg rating. Offers a high-performing IMI option. |
Clearfield (IMI) |
| Pioneer PY428R |
Hyper-Yielding RR. A new Roundup Ready hybrid with early-to-mid maturity and broad adaptability, showcasing very high yield potential. |
Roundup Ready (RR) |
Lentils
Improved disease resistance alongside the essential IMI tolerance for weed management.
| New Variety |
|
Seed Type & Tolerance |
| GIA Colombo |
High Disease Resistance. A large-seeded red IMI-tolerant variety with the highest combination of disease resistance (provisionally R/MR to Ascochyta Blight and MR/MS to Botrytis Grey Mould). Excellent for disease-prone or high-intensity lentil rotations in the Mid North. |
Large Red, IMI Tolerant |
| GIA Thunder (GIA2002L) |
Top Yielding IMI. Shown in NVT trials to be one of the highest yielding IMI red lentil varieties, providing a substantial yield lift over older IMI standards. |
Small Red, IMI Tolerant |
| GIA Sire (GIA1703L) |
Clopyralid Residue Tolerance. The first lentil variety with improved tolerance to clopyralid (Group I) soil residues, making it a valuable fit for rotations where herbicide carryover is a concern. |
Small Red, IMI Tolerant |
| ALB Dane Lentils |
Imidazoline Tolerant, Large Red Lentil, Competitive yields in core lentil growing regions, improved salt tolerance |
