Variety and Ripener Trial Summaries 2
SASRI has been conducting Variety Evaluation Trials for decades. These trials are conducted over multiple ratoons and aim to evaluate the agronomic performance of newer varieties across a range of agro-climatic conditions, against existing regional varieties under commercial growing conditions. Outcomes of Variety Evaluation Trials include yield and RV performance, ratoonability and adaptability.
In addition to variety evaluation trials, Ripener Evaluation Trials also exist, enabling the testing of selected varieties to certain ripener treatments.
