Summary

The South Australian crop sowing guide outlines information on current varieties of the major winter crops suitable to be grown in South Australia to assist growers in making decisions on variety selection for the upcoming season.

This edition is independently compiled by Astute Ag with the generous support of the sources listed in each chapter. The guide is intended as a resource for discussions with consultants, advisers and marketing agents. It acknowledges that local advisers are particularly valuable for region-specific insights.

It is proudly sponsored by the South Australian Grain Industry Trust (SAGIT) in association with the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC).

It is important that growers and advisers review the latest disease resistance ratings when they are updated in March. Results from the 2026 National Variety Trials (NVT) will be available early in the new year on the NVT website, and in the Long Term Yield Reporter and the NVT Harvest Reports.
