Trends In Wheat Protein/Yield Relationships, G B. Crosbie, Harry Fisher, Bryan Whan
Trends In Wheat Protein/Yield Relationships, G B. Crosbie, Harry Fisher, Bryan Whan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The major concern of wheat breeders in WesternAustralia has been to increase grain yield while maintaining quality at an acceptable level. There has been no concious effort to select for protein content. It is of interrest, therefore, to compare the relationship between yield and protein of varieties which have been prominent in Western Australia at various times, to see what effects yield increases have had on protein content and the extent of any variation which might exist.

Variation In Wheat Protein Content : The Effect Of Environment, G B. Crosbie, Harry Fisher
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Over the past 20 years, the average protein content of WesternAustralian wheat has ranged from 9.3 to 12.0 per cent, with a mean level of 10.4 per cent. At most grain receival points, in any one season, individual loads can often vary in protein content by as much as 5 per cent protein or more. Rainfall and soil fertility account for much of this variation.

Wheat Payments And Protein Content, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In recent years there has been increasing support from within the Australian wheat industry for the principal of wheat growers recieving payment for their grain according to market value.
Individual loads are now tested for quality characteristics such as hectolitre weight, unmillable material and moisture content.
At present, technology is not sufficiently advanced to enable rapid and accurate analysis of individual loads for all important quality factors.
A more practical system of quality assessment would be one based on allowances for various basic measures (such as hectolitre weight, unmillable material and moisture content), variety (to allow for genetic differences in …
Effect Of Agronomic Practices On Wheat Protein Levels, M G. Mason
Effect Of Agronomic Practices On Wheat Protein Levels, M G. Mason
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
High grain protein levels are preferred for many end-uses of wheat. However, there has been little or no incentive for farmers to use practices which would increase protein levels, because wheat payments are made without a price differential for proteinlevel, except where wheat could qualify for the Australian Hard grade.
Increasing Protein Content Of Wheat By Breeding, B R. Whan, Graham Crosbie
Increasing Protein Content Of Wheat By Breeding, B R. Whan, Graham Crosbie
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The most efficient means of increasing protein content of WesternAustralian wheat is by breeding new varieties with higher inherent protein in their grain. But is this possible without sacrificing yeild or other desirable characteristics?

The water-holding capacity of these soils, and their location in a low rainfall area combine to make them marginal for producing grain. In contrast to sowing wheat on ley pasture, mechanically fallowing the year before planting markedly improved grain yields by 1.3 to 4 times.
