Last season there were four (Siokra 1-4, Siokra L22, Sicala 33 and CS 189) CSIRO mainstream varieties being grown commercially in most districts. In addition the new variety CS 50 was trialled in most areas as was Sicala 34, the higher strength replacement for Sicala 33. In some districts, our three special purpose varieties (Sicala Vl, CS 7S and Siokra S324) were a.lso grown. Peter Reid will discuss their performance in his article.
