Abstract
The durum wheat industry in New Zealand is based in South Canterbury s upplying the local Timaru Milling Company with specialist grains for t he making of pasta and pasta-related products. 'Waitohi' durum wheat h as been bred as a high yielding - high quality replacement to the stan dard durum cultivar 'Tara'. Regional trials indicate a small yield adv antage over 'Tara' with improved pasta processing characteristics and a higher colour grading in the milled and processed product.
