    About this ebook

    With the continuing improvement of wheat, there is a need to provide assistance in the identification of newly registered wheat varieties. Sixteen such wheats are described in this Supplement according to the characters explained in 'Australian wheat varieties: identification according to plant, head and grain characteristics', Second Edition, by R. W. Fitzsimmons, R. H. Martin and C. W. Wrigley (CSIRO: Melbourne, 1983).

    In addition, descriptions of eight Australian triticales are provided in this Supplement as an appendix, in view of the increasing popularity of this close relative of wheat.

In particular, samples have been grown and descriptions provided by Ray Hare (N.S.W.), Gil Hollamby (S.A.), Lindsay O’Brien (Vic.), Jeff Reeves (W.A.) and Dave Rosser (Old).

      The technical assistance of Mrs Jeanette McCausland is gratefully acknowledged. We particularly appreciate the contribution of Mr. W. E. Rushton (CSIRO Division of Food Research, Sydney) for colour photography.

      Preface

      With the continuing improvement of wheat, there is a need to provide assistance in the identification of newly registered wheat varieties.

      In addition, descriptions of eight Australian triticales are provided in this Supplement as an appendix, in view of the increasing popularity of this close relative of wheat.
