Celebrating 20 years of NVT

Established by GRDC in 2005, the NVT program has evolved into the largest coordinated variety trial network in the world. Each year, more than 640 trials are conducted across over 300 locations nationwide, encompassing 10 different crop species.

Over the past two decades NVT has been a transformative force, providing growers with credible insights into newly released varieties that drive the rapid adoption of superior genetics.

The success of NVT is a testament to the collaborative efforts of many. GRDC extends heartfelt thanks to the growers, GRDC staff and panellists, service providers, trial hosts, breeding companies, and members of the National Advisory Committee who have been instrumental in this journey.

Your dedication has delivered exceptional outcomes, advancing the productivity and profitability of Australian grain growers and strengthening the grains industry as a whole.

As we mark this significant milestone, GRDC celebrates the achievements of NVT and looks forward to continuing to deliver game-changing innovations for Australia’s grains sector in the years to come.
