Durum wheat: Gross margins and role in rotation

New tools are available for durum wheat growers, helping to close the yield gap with bread wheat. In this video we speak to agronomist, Darcy King, and local SA durum grower, Simon Ballinger. With its natural genetic resistance to stripe rust and septoria tritici, and new varieties with improved yield potential, along with advanced techniques for crown rot management and weeds, durum is showing promise. Durum is particularly sought after in SA, which is home to a major pasta processing company. The average area sown over the past five years in SA has been around the 50-thousand-hectare mark, but that area is now being extended into non-traditional durum growing regions such as the southeast of the state.
