New InterGrain wheat variety set to rev up crop options
State investment in crop breeding to speed up advances in grains production
A new generation, high performance Australian Hard wheat variety, Valiant CL Plus, has launched today to support grain growers across the State.
The new slow maturing variety is set to help drive wheat productivity and profitability across Australia, with its unique package of advantages.
Valiant CL Plus features Clearfield Plus tolerance to imidazoline pre-emergent herbicides, is geared to early sowing and adaptable to seasonal variability, and has strong disease resistance to stripe and stem rusts and yellow leaf spot, in addition to good grain size, test weight and a moderate plant height.

AEGIC welcomes the establishment of Katalis, a new economic cooperation hub between Indonesia and Australia which will help drive grain trade between the two countries.
Katalis – which means “catalyst” in Bahasa Indonesia – will play a crucial role in facilitating grain opportunities as part of the broader Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IA-CEPA), which celebrates its one-year anniversary in July 2021.
AEGIC CEO Richard Simonaitis said increasing grain trade and cooperation between Indonesia and Australia was a key focus for AEGIC.
“Through in-market engagement and webinars, we deliver regular and consistent information to Indonesian customers about the quality of Australian grains for feed and food, including practical information about how to maximise value,” he said.
