Tender Description
The National Variety Trials (NVT) provides Australian growers and advisors with access to independent, robust and relevant evaluation of crop varieties to assist in choosing varieties most suited to their environment. The national program of comparative crop variety testing delivers trial results from over 350 locations across the country for over 500 near-release or released varieties of wheat, barley, canola, oats, lupins, lentils, field peas, faba beans, and chickpeas. In providing this information, NVT seeks to accelerate the adoption of new, superior varieties, leading to increased grower profitability.
This procurement will source, through an open market approach, service providers who have the appropriate technical skills and experience to provide research and development services for the Central Queensland GRDC NVT program in order to ensure the program is run successfully.
Outcome
Central QLD growers continue to have access to an independent source of varietal performance data which enables them to realise increased profit by adopting the best varieties available for their farming systems.
Outputs
For the Central Queensland 2023 NVT season, continue to provide the 15 variety performance field trials as per the NVT Standards Protocols
