Growers are set to get better variety recommendations faster through a new GRDC investment, innovation in plant variety testing in Australia (INVITA) which is adding value to the National Variety Trial program. 

An international collaboration, INVITA is a $5.39 million, five-year investment. It leverages off a major EU investment INVITE (Innovations in plant Variety Testing in Europe), a consortium led by INRA in France (INRA being the French equivalent of CSIRO). 

Through new technologies and analytics methods, INVITA will extract more high-quality information out of the NVT program and deliver that information to growers faster, including: 

• better predictors of variety performance
• quicker access to trial data for growers
• better monitoring of trial quality
• predictions of variety responses to environmental stresses.
