Free advice for WA grain growers as DPIRD releases 2025 Crop Sowing Guide

WA grain growers can access free advice on planting options for the upcoming season after the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development released its 2025 Crop Sowing Guide.

The annual guide provides key information to help growers chose the best variety for each of the major crops.

It features the latest data from DPIRD’s research work and the Grains Research and Development Corporation’s National Variety Trials.

DPIRD crop science and grain production manager Bob French said the guide had been updated with the latest agronomic information and industry developments to help growers optimise crop potential.

“This includes ******** ratings and market-delivery information for wheat, barley, oats, canola and pulses, including lupin, lentil, field pea, chickpea, faba bean and vetch,” Dr French said.

“The 2025 guide features information on 20 new variety releases, including six wheat, four feed barley and five barley varieties currently under malt evaluation, one lentil and nine canola varieties.”

Dr French said it was important growers recognised how the variable seasons of 2022 and 2023 could influence a variety or crop’s performance.

“It is critical to view variety performance over multiple years to better understand how a variety might perform across variable seasons,” he said.

“The guide provides valuable additional context and interpretation of the data generated by the National Variety Trials program on varietal performance and ******** and agronomic traits.”
