General
INTRODUCTION
Since 1999 GTA (previously NACMA) has on an annual basis reviewed, produced and published on behalf of industry Wheat Trading Standards (Standards) through its Standards Committee (Committee). In order to provide a consistent message to both domestic industry and international buyers, GTA encourages input into development of these Standards. Additionally, we urge industry to use the Standards contained within this Manual as applicable when trading Australian wheat. Considerations to the Standards This section of the Manual relating to wheat has been produced following the annual review by GTA of Standards. There are various sections of this Manual relating to Standards and associated procedures and industry is encouraged to take account of all relevant sections when applying these Standards to wheat traded domestically or internationally. The Grades referred to in this document are a combination of:   Grades commonly introduced across the country on an annual basis and are generally the same in each State where wheat is grown or traded Grades that may not be introduced every season or only introduced in a regional area. These grades may be created for various reasons including to meet the specific quality requirements of a customer, as specific varietal segregations or to deal with specific quality issues with harvested grain in a localised area
Industry should note the list of Grades in this Manual is not exhaustive. Variations to Standards Whilst the information in this Manual is current at time of publication, you will need to monitor the GTA Member Updates, the GTA website and other applicable information to ensure that you are aware of the changes to the Standards and the impact on your own trading arrangements. Varieties Approved and recommended varieties to be grown and acceptable within each grade are listed within this document. The approval of each variety within a grade is determined by a group external to GTA. Variety integrity and correct variety assessment is an integral part of the grain classification and Standards application process. GTA endorses the varietal classifications as listed in this Manual and encourages all industry to follow the approved varietal list as listed in this Manual where relevant. Changes to varietal classifications may occur at any time during the season following the publication of this Manual. As these changes will not necessarily be included in this Manual industry should implement their own procedures for monitoring the varietal classification process. Timing of Standards Development The Standards outlined in this Manual are applicable for the entire season of 2009/10. Standards apply to deliveries and grain traded from 1 August 2009 to 31 July 2010.

SECTION 2
As Is
DEFINITIONS
In terms of sample assessment, is the representative sample as taken from the load tendered for delivery without any interference to the sample. That is, there has been no cleaning or screening of the sample prior to analysis. The sample may also be referred to as a “dirty” sample. Bread Wheat This refers to those wheats of bread making varieties (Triticum aestivum) which contaminate durum deliveries, and for which a specific tolerance applies. Bread wheat can be visually distinguished from durum by the fine hairs on the brush end which are usually only associated with bread wheat varieties. Cereals In the context of these Standards, cereals refer to wheat, barley, oats, cereal rye, triticale, sorghum, maize and rice. Cereal Smuts Cereal Smuts include all smuts on all cereal grains. This includes but is not limited to: Ball Smut Are those infected by the spores of the fungus Tilletia caries. They have the appearance of pale, plump, slightly oversized grains. These grains are easily crushed between the fingers and contain a mass of black powder (spores) with a distinctive rotten egg smell. This may also be called Stinking Smut or Bunt. Covered Smut Covered smut is caused by various fungi of the Ustilago spp. Loose Smut Loose smut is the result of the fungus Ustilago tritici developing in the head during the growing phase. The tolerance applies to the number of blackened pieces of backbone in the sample. A nil tolerance applies to all smuts in cereal kernels. Chemicals not Approved for Wheat Refers to the following:     Chemicals used on the growing crop in the State or Territory where the wheat was grown in contravention of the label Chemicals used on stored wheat in contravention of the label Chemicals not registered for use on wheat Wheat containing any artificial colouring, pickling compound or marker dye commonly used during crop spraying operations that has stained the wheat


Wheat treated with or contaminated by Carbaryl, Organochloride chemicals, or diatomaceous earth
 Chemical residues in excess of Australian Commonwealth, State or Territory legal limits For further information on this topic, refer to the document “Australian Grains Industry Post Harvest Chemical Usage Recommendations and Outturn Tolerances 2008/09” - see GTA website www.graintrade.org.au. Clean Seed Basis For the purposes of assessment of various defective grains, clean seed includes all wheat seed remaining above the screen following the Screening process. Contaminants Contaminants are defined individually in these Standards and consist of the following:                   Bread wheat (in durum deliveries only) Cereal Ergot Chemicals not Approved for Wheat Earcockle Earth Field Insects – All Others Field Insects – Sitona Weevil Foreign Seeds Loose Smut Objectionable Material Other Non-Objectionable Material Pea Weevil – Dead Pickling Compounds Ryegrass Ergot Sand Snails Stored Grain Insects – Dead Stored Grain Insects and Pea Weevil – Live
Contaminants may be referred to as foreign material, being all material other than whole or broken seeds or hulls of the wheat being assessed. Defective Grains Defective grains refer to wheat that has been damaged to some degree, as outlined in these Standards. They include the following:             Dry Green or Sappy Field Fungi Frost Damaged Heat Damaged, Bin Burnt, Storage Mould Affected or Rotted Insect Damaged Non vitreous kernels (Durum only) Over-Dried Damaged Pink Stained Smut Sprouted Stained Takeall Affected
An individual kernel may have more than one defect.

GTA Wheat Standards 0910
Dry Green or Sappy Dry Green refers to green grains arising from harvesting of grain before it has matured. Dry Green grains are those whose surface is distinctively green or those grains when cut show an intense green colour in the cross-section. Dry green grains are usually dry and hard. Sappy grains are those that have been harvested before maturity. Sappy grains are generally soft when pressed. They may or may not be green. Any level of sappiness is classified as defective. Durum Durum includes grains of the species Triticum durum. Vitreous Vitreous in the context of durum includes grains of a uniform colour which are bright and semi translucent in appearance and which exhibit no trace of mottling. Frost Damaged grains, Dry Green grains, grains of other cereals and grains of the species Triticum aestivum are also not considered to be vitreous grain for the purposes of this definition. Grains that display any signs of sprouting are not automatically classified as non vitreous. Instead, these grains are classified depending on their appearance. Mottled Mottled grains in the context of durum are those that contain opaque, starchy areas within an otherwise vitreous grain. Mottled areas are normally of a dull yellow appearance and are easily identified visually against the amber coloured background of the otherwise vitreous grain.
Non Vitreous Non vitreous grains in the context of durum include Mottled grains, Frost Damaged grains, Dry Green grains, grains of other cereals and grains of the species Triticum aestivum. Grains are assessed as non vitreous irrespective of the size of any mottled area that may be present. Grains that are entirely starchy and opaque are non vitreous. Bleached Bleached in the context of durum are those grains that have become dull and pale, or “washed out in appearance” as a result of pre harvest weather damage. These grains may appear opaque and therefore non vitreous however this may be purely an external effect. Bleached grains may still be classified as vitreous providing there is no evidence of mottling. Earcockle Earcockles are darkened seed-like nematode galls. These galls displace kernels in diseased heads and are caused by infection from the nematode Anguina tritici. The tolerance applies to the number of galls in the sample. Earth Earth is defined as a clod of dirt, being 5mm or less in diameter. Ergot
Page 5 of 96 Issued 1 August 2009
GTA Wheat Standards 0910
Ergot is a purplish black fungal body, which contaminates cereal and ryegrass kernels when they are infected by the fungus Claviceps purpurea.
Ryegrass Ergot Ryegrass ergot is Claviceps purpurea infection of ryegrass kernels. Tolerances are defined in terms of overall length in cm when pieces found in the sample are aligned end on end. Cereal Ergot Cereal ergot is Claviceps purpurea infection of any cereal kernels. Tolerances are defined in terms of the total number of pieces or whole affected kernels of any cereal found in the sample. Falling Number Falling Number is a grain quality test which measures the degree of weather damage in wheat and is based on the unique ability of alpha amylase (an enzyme released during seed germination) to liquefy a starch gel. Strength of the enzyme is measured by Falling Number defined as the time in seconds required to stir plus the time it takes to allow the stirrer to fall a measured distance through a hot aqueous flour or meal gel undergoing liquefaction. The Falling Number test is an alternative to visual assessment for sprouted grains, and always overrides the visual grain assessment. Field Fungi Field Fungi refers to individual kernels where the seed coat is greater than 50 percent discoloured with a mouldy substance caused by the development of fungi during periods of high moisture (Grains that are less than 50 percent discoloured are to be classified as Stained. Grains that are soft and/or emit a mouldy odour are to be classified as Rotted). The visible discolouration of affected grains can vary from white, to grey to black in colour. Field Fungi grains include those affected by Head Scab, which is caused by the fungus Gibberella zeae (also called Fusarium graminearum) and those affected by White Grain Disorder, caused by the fungus Botryosphaeria spp. Field Insects These are insect contaminants of grain that do not cause damage to stored grains. They include but are not restricted to:         Desiantha Weevil (Desiantha spp) Grasshoppers Hairy Fungus Beetle (Typhaea stercorea) Ladybirds Minute Mould Beetle (Corticaria spp) Mites (Acarina spp.) Sitona Weevil (Sitona spp) Wood Bugs
Tolerances apply to either Live or Dead Field Insects. For grasshoppers, six legs, three body parts and two wings or part thereof, constitutes one insect. More than one of the same body part constitutes greater than one insect. Note that a separate tolerance exists for Sitona Weevil to all other Field Insects. Foreign Seeds
Page 6 of 96 Issued 1 August 2009
GTA Wheat Standards 0910
Foreign Seeds are defined as seeds of any plant, other than the species of crop being tendered for delivery. Foreign Seeds are classified into two broad groups; those with specific tolerances listed in the Standards, and those without. The latter are termed “Small Foreign Seeds”. Seeds with specific tolerances have been categorised into several groups. These are: Type 1 Colocynth (Citrullus colocynthis) Double Gees / Spiny Emex / Three Cornered Jack (Emex australis) Jute (Corchorus olitorius) Long Head Poppy (Papaver dubium) Mexican Poppy (Argemone mexicana) Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum) Poppy (Field) (Papaver rhoeas) Poppy (Horned) (Glaucium flavum) Wild Poppy (Papaver hybridum) Parthenium Weed (Parthenium hysterophorus) New Zealand Spinach (Tetragonia tetragonoides) Type 2 Branched Broomrape (Orobanche ramosa) Castor Oil Plant (Ricinus communis) Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) Crow Garlic/Wild Garlic (Allium vineale) Darling Pea (Swainsona spp) Peanut seeds and pods (Arachis hypogaea) Ragweed (Ambrosia sp) Rattlepods (Crotalaria sp) Starburr (Acanthospermum hispidum) St. Johns Wort (Hypericum perforatum) Type 3a Bathurst Burr (Xanthium spinosum) Bulls Head / Caltrop / Cats Head (Tribulus terrestris) Cape Tulip (Homeria spp) Cottonseed (Gossypium spp) Dodder (Cuscuta spp) Noogoora Burr (Xanthium pungens) Thornapple (Datura spp) Type 3b Vetch (Commercial) (Vicia spp) Vetch (Tare) (Vicia sativa) Type 3c Heliotrope (Blue) (Heliotropium amplexicaule) Heliotrope (Common) (Heliotropium europaeum) Type 4 Bindweed (Field) (Convolvulus arvensis) Cutleaf Mignonette seeds or pods (Reseda lutea) Darnel (Drake Seed) (Lolium temulentum)

Frost Damaged Refers to grain damaged as a result of frost during the maturation phase, affected by or during drying operations, or by any damage occurring during plant growth due to herbicides. The definition does not include grain pinched as a result of dry conditions or disease during maturation. Grade Grade refers to the classification given to the load after it has been sampled and tested, and has been classified according to these Standards. The following lists the more commonly used grades (note this is not a comprehensive list of grades): AGP1 ANW1 ANW2 APH2 APW1 APW2 ASW1 AUH2 AUW1 DR1 DR2 DR3 FED1 H1 H2 HPS1 PNC PNE PWT SFE1 SFT1 SFW1 Various Varieties except FEED (General Purpose Grade) Australian Standard White Noodle Varieties Australian Standard White Noodle Varieties Australian Prime Hard Varieties Australian Premium White Varieties Australian Premium White Varieties Australian Standard White Varieties Australian Hard Varieties (Utility Grade) Various Varieties except FEED (Utility Grade) Australian Durum Varieties Australian Durum Varieties Australian Durum Varieties Various Varieties (Feed Grade) Australian Hard Varieties Australian Hard Varieties Australian Hard Varieties (High Screenings, High Protein Grade) Cadoux variety Eradu variety Australian Korean Noodle Blend Varieties Australian Soft Varieties Australian Soft Varieties Various varieties (Stockfeed Wheat Grade)
The Grade into which a load is classified shall be determined by its variety, and then by the various physical quality specifications detailed in these Standards. Heat Damaged, Bin Burnt, Storage Mould Affected or Rotted Heat Damaged or Bin Burnt Heat damaged or bin burnt refers to those kernels that have become discoloured due to exposure to severe heat during storage or an incorrect artificial drying technique. Affected grains appear reddish brown, or in severe cases, blackened. Storage Mould Affected Storage Mould Affected refers to kernels that have become affected by the development of fungi or bacteria due to an increase in grain moisture levels during storage. Affected grains appear discoloured and visibly affected by mould. Rotted
Page 9 of 96 Issued 1 August 2009
GTA Wheat Standards 0910
Rotted grains are those that have become severely affected by the development of fungi or bacteria due to high moisture conditions. Individual grains appear distinctly discoloured by mould and are swollen and soft. Affected grains will feel spongy under pressure and/or emit a mouldy odour. The above grain defects have been categorised together as the differences between them can be difficult to distinguish. Hit and Miss In relation to screen slots, refers to the sequence of slots on the screen when viewing along a row facing the direction of the slots. That is, the screen is made of a series of slots and “no slots” in sequence equidistant. Insect Damaged These are grains eaten in part by Stored Grain Insects and any field pest of grains including Heliothis spp. Load A load is a bulk unit tendered for delivery. Moisture This is the amount of water present in the sample as determined by the appropriate analytical method. Nil Nil in these Standards means a level of zero in a half litre sample representative of the entire load and/or not detected in the load or in/on the delivery vessel at any stage of the receival process. Objectionable Material Objectionable Material refers to objectionable foreign matter that may or may not be otherwise stated in these Standards which has the ability to degrade the hygiene of wheat, become a food safety issue of concern or has a commercially unacceptable odour. This includes but is not limited to the following: Animal Material This refers to meat meal, bone meal, poultry offal, meal or any other animal proteins. Animal Material also includes carcasses of dead animals such as rats and mice. Odour A commercially unacceptable Odour is defined as a sour, musty or other objectionable odour emanating from the wheat which is not natural or normally associated with wheat. Odour may be caused by various means which may or may not be physically discernable in the sample being assessed. Stick A Stick is defined as ligneous material greater than 1cm in length and 0.5cm in diameter. Note that crop stubble greater than 3cm in length and 1cm in diameter is defined as a Stick. Stone A Stone or gravel is defined as a lump or mass of hard consolidated mineral matter being greater than 2mm in length or diameter. Smaller material is defined as sand.

GTA Wheat Standards 0910
Tainting Agents A Tainting Agent is any contaminant that imparts a smell or taint to wheat. It includes but is not limited to plant parts and seeds of Eucalyptus spp. Water The addition of water to grain prior to delivery is a prohibited practice. Other This refers to any other commercially unacceptable contaminant such as animal excreta, glass, concrete, fertiliser or metal. Other Non-Objectionable Material Refers to other material not otherwise specified as having a tolerance in these Standards that has the ability to degrade the quality of wheat. It includes, but is not limited to the following: Fine Material This refers to material such as dust and soil (<0.06mm in diameter) and minerals. Snail Shell and Stored Grain Insects This includes pieces of Snail Shell (less than half an entire shell) and pieces of Stored Grain Insects (not whole or not readily able to be identified by species), but not including Field Insects. Other This includes pieces of Sticks that are smaller than the dimensions specified under Objectionable Material, and other non-vegetative material. Over-Dried Damaged This refers to defective grains caused by overheating during artificial drying. It can be detected where grain is hot, exhibits an unusual odour, exhibits significant sprouting (greater than 10%) or other evidence of weather damage but no corresponding reduction in Falling Number has occurred. Loads affected in this way should only be classified as the maximum grade of Feed. This definition includes a maximum temperature of grain tendered for delivery of 50OC for all Grades including Feed. Pea Weevil Pea Weevil refers to insects of the species Bruchus pisorum. The tolerance applies to all life stages of the insect. As Pea Weevils are commonly found inside field pea seeds, it is recommended that any field peas present in a load of grain should be broken and assessed for the presence of this insect. Note that a separate tolerance applies to Live and Dead Pea Weevils. Pickling Compounds Pickling Compounds are those chemicals added to grain as a seed treatment or as a seed dressing prior to sowing. They are usually associated with a colouring agent. Grains contaminated in this way may be identified by an unnatural surface colour and/or colour that rubs off. Pink Stained
Page 11 of 96 Issued 1 August 2009
GTA Wheat Standards 0910
This is a grain defect arising from infection by certain Fusarium spp, Eppicoccum spp or Drechslera spp. This defect is included in the tolerance for “Stained”.
Protein Proteins (amino acids arranged in a linear chain) form a large component part of grains. These structures are responsible for the quality expressions in end use products made from wheat. Sand A grain of Sand is defined as a particle of unconsolidated (loose), rounded to angular rock fragment or mineral grain between 0.06mm and 2.00mm in diameter. Smaller material is classified under Other Non-Objectionable Material. Larger material is classified as Earth or Stones. Screenings See “Unmillable Material below the Screen”. Small Foreign Seeds These are all small foreign seeds in the unmillable material fraction which have fallen below the screen during the screening process, except those specifically mentioned in the Foreign Seeds definition. Snails This refers to whole or substantially whole (more than half) Snail shells, irrespective of size. These include but are not limited to:      Common White Snail (Cernuella virgata) White Italian Snail (Theba pisana) Pointed Snail (Cochlicella actua) Small Pointed Snail (Cochlicella abarbara) Any other snail
Pieces of Snail Shell that are less than half an entire shell are classified under Other NonObjectionable Material. Sprouted Sprouted grains are those in which the covering of the germ is split. It includes early and any further advanced stage of growth of the germ. Kernels exhibiting early stages of sprouting are those where the covering of the germ is split, but without further development of the shoot. Grains that have had the germ knocked off or scalloped out due to header damage or grains with pin holes are not included in this definition. Standards Standards means all the test parameters listed in this Manual. Loads presented for delivery must be analysed for all the parameters listed in the Standards, unless otherwise specified in individual Storage and Handling Agreements. Stained
Page 12 of 96
Issued 1 August 2009
GTA Wheat Standards 0910
Refers to a grain defect caused by either exposure to wet and damp conditions during growth and maturation phases or a stress related biochemical reaction, which causes individual grains to become visually discoloured. The definition includes kernels that display the following:  A distinct dark brown to black discolouration on the germ end that, in severe cases, may progress to other parts of the grain such as the crease. These grains are commonly referred to as “black point” or “black tip”. A light grey to black mould like discolouration that usually extends from the brush end of the grain, but does not cover more than 50% of the entire grain surface. Kernels with greater than 50% of a mould like discolouration are to be classified as “Field Fungi”. Adherence of contaminants such as soil, dust, plant parts and other material. These grains are commonly referred to as “Staining due to Moist Plant Material”. Pink Stained grains arising from infection by certain Fusarium spp, Eppicoccum spp or Drechslera spp. Refer to the definition of “Pink Stained”.

 
Grains that exhibit small dots covering less than 5% of the surface area of the kernel (a small proportion) are not to be classified as Stained and are otherwise whole sound grains. This “mould like discolouration” refers to a relatively slow growing mould that is considered harmless (generally does not produce mycotoxins) but does affect the appearance of the grain. It does not refer to the more serious storage moulds. Stored Grain Insects These are insects which cause damage to stored grain. These include:               Angoumois Grain Moth (Sitrotroga cerealella) Confused Flour Beetle (Tribolium confusum) Flat Grain Beetle (Cryptolestes spp) Granary Weevil (Sitophilus granarius) Indian Meal Moth (Plodia interpunctella) Khapra Beetle (Trogoderma granarium) Lesser Grain Borer (Rhyzopertha dominica) Maize Weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) Psocids/Book lice (Psocoptera sp) Rice Weevil (Sitophilus oryzae) Rust-red Flour Beetle (Tribolium castaneum) Saw Tooth Grain Beetle (Oryzaephilus surinamensis) Tropical Warehouse Moth (Ephestia cautella) Warehouse Beetle (Trogoderma variable)
Note that a separate tolerance exists for dead and live Stored Grain Insects. The tolerance applies to all life stages of the insect. For Dead Stored Grain Insects, pieces of insects that are not whole or not readily able to be identified by species are classified as Other Non-Objectionable Material. Takeall Affected
Page 13 of 96
Issued 1 August 2009
GTA Wheat Standards 0910
This is a grain defect caused by infection by the fungus Gaeumannomyces graminis often resulting in distortion of the grain. This definition only applies to those grains which appear yellowish or white in colour and which have a hollowed out appearance. The definition does not apply to those grains affected by Frost or pinched as a result of dry conditions or other diseases during maturation. Test Weight Test Weight is a measure of the density of grain.
Unmillable Material Above the Screen This consists of whiteheads (with grains removed), chaff, backbone, Wild Radish pods, Milk Thistle pods, other seedpods and other light material which remains above the 2.00mm screen after a sample of grain is subjected to the screening process. It excludes contaminants for which tolerances have been stated in these Standards. Chaff is defined as the protective material surrounding the mature seed prior to thrashing or harvesting. Backbone is the material to which seeds are attached to the plant stem. Unmillable Material Below the Screen (Screenings) This is the total material passing through a 2.00mm screen after a sample of grain is subjected to the screening process. It includes Small Foreign Seeds. Variety This is the next lowest level taxonomic rank of a plant below that of the term “species”. Wheats of differing varieties have differing genetic compositions which may endow them with differing agronomic characteristics, and/or differing end product quality characteristics. For this reason, varieties are best segregated into groups which have similar quality characteristics and/or are best suited to particular end product uses. Varietal Master List This list designates the varietal group into which each variety may be assigned, for each of the seven geographical crop growing zones of Australia. The varietal zones designated by geographical region are: Queensland Northern New South Wales Central New South Wales Southern New South Wales Victoria South Australia Western Australia
The Varietal Master List appears in Section 4 of these Standards. Varietal Restrictions Are restrictions to the varieties able to be received into each grade. Refer to Varietal Master List for the maximum classification of each variety. Wheat Wheat includes grains of the species Triticum aestivum (bread wheat), Triticum tauschii (soft wheat) and Triticum durum (durum).

SECTION 4
VARIETAL CLASSIFICATION
Wheat Variety Classification is the responsibility of the Wheat Classification Council (WCC) and is undertaken by the Variety Classification Panel. Wheat classification is the categorisation of a wheat variety into a Class based on processing and end product quality. The Classification Process aims to deliver grain of consistent physical quality, processing performance and end-product quality to customers and end-users. For any questions relating to the Classification process or the Varietal Masterlist please go to the WCC website – www.wheatclassificationcouncil.com.au The Wheat Variety MasterList provided in this document details all of the varieties acceptable for delivery and their individual classifications or Classes by zone. While the MasterList is updated several times each year as new varieties are released or existing varieties are reviewed, the final version for the 2009/2010 harvest has been included here. The following Table contains a list of all the Classes into which wheat varieties may be classified. These Classes determine the maximum Bin Grade into which a variety may be received. The Table includes the other, lower Bin Grades into which the variety may also be received – the Bin Grade cascade. This Table should be read in conjunction with the 2009/10 Wheat Variety Master List.

* The APH class is only available in QLD and NSW ** The APWT class is only available in WA *** Includes all Red wheat varieties and Spring Feed wheat varieties
Rules to Apply: a) b) c) d) The maximum bin grade classification is to be read from left to right in the above table as this reflects the highest to lowest grade Deliveries must meet relevant Standards to be able to be received into that bin grade If the segregation is not available, the next bin grade will apply if the grain is delivered unless other requirements are stated in the relevant Storage & Handling Agreement Note that not all bin grades implemented during the 2009/10 season may be listed in the above table

For the purpose of delivery, the classification is dependant on the point of delivery based on the seven classification zones. These Classification Zones are: 1. 2. Queensland – defined by the state boundaries of Queensland Northern NSW – defined by the Queensland/NSW boundary and the area north of the Central NSW Zone Central NSW – defined by the region containing the receival sites Albert, Alectown, Bogan Gate, Condobolin, Euabolong West, Gobondery, Gunningbland, Kadungle, Kiacatoo, Mickibri, Ootha, Parkes, Peak Hill, Tomingley, Tottenham, Trundle, Tullamore, Wyanga, Yarrabandi, Yeoval and Yethera Southern NSW – defined by the Victoria/NSW state boundary and the area south of the Central NSW Zone Victoria – defined by the state boundaries of Victoria South Australia – defined by the state boundaries of South Australia Western Australia – defined by the state boundaries of Western Australia

SECTION 5
5.1 Introduction
METHODS & PROCEDURES
The following section details methods and procedures to be used for the assessment of various quality parameters as outlined in this Manual. The methods outlined are either Reference Methods or Field Assessment Methods. Field Assessment Methods are included as a guide to industry where Reference Methods may not be able to be implemented. Note that Field Assessment Methods must equate to the Reference Method for the applicable test method. In all instances of disputes, the Reference Method takes precedence over the Field Assessment Method. Depending on the test to be conducted, variations may exist due to equipment used. Procedures outlined are a guide for industry. Industry is free to develop their own Operational Procedures for each test and activity based on their own circumstances. At all times industry use of apparatus outlined in this Standard must comply with the manufacturers’ recommendations for occupational health and safety and training.

5.2 Sampling 5.2.1 Definitions This is the standard procedure used to draw a sample of the commodity from a bulk unit tendered for delivery to enable tests to be conducted on the commodity for the purposes of determining its quality.    5.2.2 A primary sample is an individual probed sample taken from the lot presented for sampling A composite sample is the combined primary samples taken from the lot to be sampled, and is representative of the entire lot A sub sample is the sample taken from the mixed composite sample for the purposes of conducting quality tests, and is representative of the entire lot
Scope Wheat is traded on the basis of quality tests conducted on lots of wheat presented for sale or delivery to end users. Obtaining representative samples is critical to ensuring test results reflect the true quality of these lots. This procedure is applicable to all cereal grains, pulses and oilseeds.
5.2.3
Apparatus   Manual sampling probe (double tube compartment probe, one inside the other, equipped with spiralled ports that open sequentially from bottom to top). Vacuum or pneumatic probe (an alternative to the manual sampling probe and consisting of a hand held or remotely controlled probe which retrieves grain through the use of a vacuum or other air movement system). Mixing bucket (including other associated equipment such as mini-auger suitable for mixing sample, optional). Sample dividing apparatus (optional).
  5.2.4
Reagents Not Applicable.

5.2.5
Procedure Sample Collection guidelines for collecting a representative sample  The surface of the grain should be fully exposed prior to sampling to allow for effective visual inspection. At this point, the load should be scanned for any defects or contaminants. The probe to be used should be of a sufficient length in order to obtain a sample from as close as possible to the bottom of truck. A primary sample must be drawn for assessment by thrusting the sampling probe as vertically and as deep as possible into the load. At least one probe must be taken from the front, middle and rear of each bulk unit. If more than one unit is delivered, samples must be drawn from each bulk unit as described above. If the bulk units are of visibly different quality, or if required at the Receival Agents discretion, different samples and grade classification may be undertaken for each separate bulk unit. If the declared varietal composition or paddock where the grain was grown is different for each unit tendered for delivery, or more than one variety is commingled in each delivery unit, then a separate assessment of each unit must be conducted. Each primary (probed) sample must consist of at least one litre of grain. A composite sample from each load tendered for delivery shall consist of the following minimum quantities and number of probes: Load Size 10 tonnes or less Over 10 tonnes up to 20 tonnes Over 20 tonnes up to 30 tonnes Over 30 tonnes up to 40 tonnes Over 40 tonnes up to 50 tonnes Over 50 tonnes up to 60 tonnes Over 60 tonnes up to 70 tonnes Over 70 tonnes up to 80 tonnes Sample Size (minimum) 3 litres 4 litres 5 litres 6 litres 7 litres 8 litres 9 litres 10 litres

Sample Mixing  The primary samples in each probe must be collected together and thoroughly mixed in a suitable container using a mechanical device where appropriate, to form the composite sample. Sub samples should be drawn from the composite sample either by hand or through the use of a suitable sample dividing apparatus.

Sample Analysis  The sub sample should then be analysed for all of the quality parameters specified in these Standards or in the Receival Agent’s agreement with the buyer concerned if different from these Standards. Results should be entered on the Receival Agents sample receipt.

5.4 Moisture Assessment of Cereals – Brabender Oven Reference Method 5.4.1 Definitions This is the Brabender Oven reference method used to determine the moisture content of grain samples as loss in weight when subjected to heating. 5.4.2 Scope This is applicable to all cereals when being tested for moisture content. 5.4.3 Apparatus  Mill - A low moisture loss mill must be used as significant levels of heat can be generated. The mill of choice is the Falling Number 3303 mill (a Wiley - using a 20 mesh screen). The Falling Number Mill 3303 is used with the setting – Wheat – 0. Electronic balance – accuracy = 0.001g (or better) Aluminium dishes - these dishes must be kept clean and weigh 11.500 + 0.005g Vial with well sealing screw to lid. Currently a small yellow top polyethylene container with polypropylene lid is used. Samples must be prepared and used within 24hrs.
  
5.4.4
Reagents Not Applicable
5.4.5
Procedure  Grind approx 50g of sample in accordance with relevant mill manual. Mix sample well and replace into original sample vial tightly sealing the lid. Sample must be prepared and used on the same day or prepared on the evening before. Make sure the dishes are clean and are resting on a clean surface (wipe with tissue). Tare the first dish and also subsequent dishes used but note the weight before taring if weight varies from 11.500 or tare varies by +/- 0.010g from tare. Recheck weight of dish to ensure within 11.500 +/- 0.005g. Dishes must also be checked before and after the season to ensure they are correct. Weigh out accurately 10.000 +/- 0.001g of the ground sample into an Aluminium dish. Then shake dish to obtain an even layer of sample.


Take the weighed samples and place into the oven which has been previously switched on and heated to 130 °C. Place the dishes in the oven noting the number of the dish and its position number (1 through 9). There are ten positions in the oven (the tenth place is taken up by an empty dish for calibration purposes). When the oven has been loaded note the time or set a countdown timer to 60 mins once the required temperature is reached. Usually for 130°C the oven takes 10 - 15 minutes to reach the required temperature. When one hour has elapsed, standardise the instrument by selecting the empty dish and placing 9g in weights in the small platform between the 3 prongs on the balance and adjust the scale to 10.0 with the standard swinging freely. Moisture can then be read off for each sample in turn. Read the samples in the dishes consecutively recording results in the relevant worksheet.



NOTE:      When switching the oven on make sure that the Brabender oven is level (use bubble level). All results are a direct reading of % w/w water. The minimum heating time must be adhered to (1 hour) but heating over the hour will not affect the results (up to 2 hours). If only a few grams of sample are available see the manufacturers hand book for the technique to be adopted. The weight of Aluminium dishes is to be checked at 6 monthly intervals to ensure they are within 11.500 +/-0.005g. If they are underweight they are to be discarded and replacements purchased. Do not add weight to the dish i.e. solder etc as this will breakdown over time or fall off. If they are overweight they may be cleaned with warm water and neutral detergent. Under no circumstances use abrasive or corrosive chemicals as this will lead to the dish being underweight.

5.6 Protein Assessment of Cereals – Dumas Reference Method 5.6.1 Definitions This is the Dumas reference method used to determine the crude protein content of cereal grains. Samples are incinerated in an oxygen rich atmosphere to produce oxides of nitrogen which are catalytically reduced to molecular nitrogen. Interfering combustion products are removed by selective absorption. Nitrogen concentration is then measured by a thermal conductivity detector calibrated against a standard of known nitrogen content. Protein is then calculated from nitrogen content using a known factor for each product. 5.6.2 Scope This method is applicable to all cereal grains. 5.6.3 Apparatus  Combustion nitrogen analyser consisting of a furnace capable of maintaining minimum operating temperature of 9500C for pyrolysis of the sample in pure oxygen, an isolating system capable of isolating liberated nitrogen gas from other combustion products for subsequent measurement by thermal conductivity detector, a device for converting NOx products to nitrogen or measuring NO2, and a detector system capable of interpreting detector response as percent N. Grinder or mill that produces ground material with particle size ≤ 0.8mm and with minimal heat generation. Analytical balance accurate to at least 0.0005g.
  5.6.4
Reagents   Gases – carrier gas (usually helium), pure (99.9%) oxygen, compressed air (used to drive component parts of the analyser) Reference calibration standard – TRIS - high purity (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane or Nicotinic Acid
5.6.5
Procedure  Follow procedures to set up the analyser and operating gas systems as specified by the manufacturer. Perform the necessary adjustments for gas flows and pressures, combustion temperatures and times and start up equilibrium times to ensure optimal analysis conditions for the type of sample to be analysed.


Calibrate the instrument by following the manufacturer’s guidelines using the appropriate calibration standard. The calibration should be cross checked against a second high purity standard – Nicotinic Acid or EDTA. Blanks, as stipulated by the manufacturer, should be run prior to analysis to establish the baseline. These should include consideration of an atmospheric blanks factor or a sample blank similar to samples under test. Grind an amount of sample sufficient to represent the original material, and to perform a number of nitrogen determinations as required. Sample to be “as is”. Weigh accurately to 0.001g an amount of ground sample, as recommended by the manufacturer, into the appropriate sample capsule and place the sample into the instrument for analysis. If presenting the sample to the instrument in a pellet form, adjustments may be required to burn temperatures, times and blanks to compensate for the absence of a sample capsule. Blank and standard control/check samples should be repeated periodically (as a guide every 10 samples) during each analytical run to monitor any drift. Standard drift corrections and recalculation of samples should be made after analysis if the drift exceeds specification. Calculation of nitrogen content is usually performed automatically by the instrument data processing system or associated software. Results should be expressed as percent (5) nitrogen to two decimal places. For conversion to protein content “as is” multiply wheat nitrogen by 5.7% and all other cereals by 6.25 unless otherwise stated. Convert protein content to an 11% moisture basis for wheat for the nitrogen/protein values where necessary. Report result to the nearest 0.1%. Analysis should be repeated if the difference between duplicate test results exceed the respective repeatability values (r) shown in the following table: Grain Mean % N 1.85 1.49 1.47 2.09 Repeatability r RSDr % 0.06 1.22 0.04 0.99 0.05 1.15 0.04 0.64 Reproducibility R RSDr % 0.11 2.09 0.08 1.97 0.07 1.69 0.08 1.32 1.69 1.15 1.56


Suitable fineness of grind gives a relative standard deviation (RSD) of ≤ 2.0% for ten successive determinations of nitrogen in ground test material. A larger RSD indicates the need for a finer grind or a larger analytical test weight, assuming that the instrument has been properly set up. For each batch the accuracy of the system is demonstrated by making ten successive determinations of nitrogen in nicotinic acid or tryptophan (different materials from calibration standard). Means of determinations must be ≤ ± 0.15 of respective theoretical values with standard deviation ≤ 0.15. Failure to achieve these values indicates the need for recalibration or optimisation of instrument settings. Accuracy checks should be carried out (1) On instrument installation and reinstallation following repairs and service; (2) When a new batch of working reference material is used; (3) After experiencing problems in instrument set up.

Ensure the slider is closed and pour grain in the cylinder at a constant rate until full to the top. Pull the sliding divider out and the weight will move down, drawing the grain down with it (you will hear it moving down). Once the weight D is at the bottom, replace the sliding divider back in the slot. Carefully tip the cylinder upside down and tip out all the grain remaining above the divider. Make sure to catch the weight D as it drops down. Place a plastic container on the electric balance and tare to read zero. Remove the blade from the chondrometer and tip the measured litre of grain into the plastic container and weigh. The weight is in grams and needs to be multiplied by 0.1 (divided by 10) to obtain a density in kg/hl. Always undertake analysis in duplicate and average results. Report the result to one (1) decimal place.

Following sieving, the grain remaining on the top and in the bottom screen should be examined under conditions of good lighting. There is no time restriction for this assessment. If contaminants are found, they shall be removed by hand and assessed in accordance with the tolerance prescribed in these Standards under 5.15.1. Seed contaminants are to be assessed using the appropriate visual assessment method and in accordance with the tolerance prescribed in these Standards under 5.18.1. Note that for Type 1 weed seeds, tolerances apply to individual seeds whereas for all other Types listed, tolerances are the total of all seeds in each Type. Small Foreign Seeds (SFS) are assessed in the bottom tray (catchpan). These may need to be physically removed from all non-SFS material in the bottom tray. Alternatively, to assist in separating SFS from non-SFS material in the bottom tray, a mesh screen may be used. Place the sample over the mesh screen over a white tray and gentle shake. SFS tend to remain on top of the mesh screen. Physical hand separation of SFS may still be required using this method. Note that any seed pods detected must not be opened. Whole pods or part thereof are classified as Unmillable Material Above the Screen unless tolerances are specified in Foreign Seeds. Where depicted, other contaminants should be assessed using the GTA Approved photographic standards. Where reference material is not available, other contaminants should be assessed by reference to the Definitions of those parameters. For assessment of Pickling Compounds and Chemicals not Approved for Wheat, all deliveries are to be accompanied by a signed declaration referring to its chemical status. Where the receiving agent believes that the visual appearance and/or odour of grain suggests that it has been treated with a non approved chemical, the grain is not to be received until the representative “as received” sample has been tested by an approved independent laboratory and the presence or absence of non approved chemicals ascertained. Report results as follows: Count per half litre – nearest whole number Length in cm per half litre – nearest 0.1cm Percentage by wt in half litre – nearest 0.1% Percentage by count in 300 grains – nearest 0.1% Percentage by count in a half litre – nearest 1%

5.16 Vitreous Kernel Assessment – Reference Method 5.16.1 Definition This is the reference method for the determination of vitreous kernel percentage in durum wheat presented for delivery. The principle involves visual identification and removal of mottled grains by hand picking from a 300 grain sample. Every grain is carefully examined on all sides before a vitreous kernel assessment is made. Bleached grains are cut with a scalpel or Farinator in order to facilitate their classification. The non vitreous grains are counted and the vitreous grain percentage then calculated. 5.16.2 Scope This method is applicable to all durum wheat. 5.16.3 Apparatus Sample divider Agtator and 2.00mm wheat screen Seed counter Sample inspection tray Tweezers Farinator Scalpel 5.16.4 Reagents Not applicable. 5.16.5 Method    Sample to be “as is”. Screen the sample over a 2.00mm wheat screen using the approved method of determining Unmillable Material for Wheat. Count out 300 grains obtained from the top of the screen after completion of the screening process using a grain counter. A 300 grain tray or hand counting can also be used.

Pour the 300 grain sample into the sample inspection tray. With the aid of tweezers (if required), visually examine the grain, turning each grain from side to side so that its entire surface may be observed. Separate the grains according to whether they are assessed as vitreous, non vitreous or bleached. Count the non vitreous grains. Bleached grains may be difficult to ascertain if they are vitreous or not. These may be cut with a scalpel or Farinator (preferred) then classified as vitreous or non vitreous. Vitreous grains will appear uniformly bright and translucent. Non vitreous grains will be dull and opaque, or will contain dark, opaque sections that are clearly visible within the remaining translucent section of the grain. Count the non vitreous grain and add the result to that determined at the previous step above. Calculate the sum of the non vitreous grain counts. Determine the vitreous grain percentage as follows: Vitreous kernels (%) = 300 – non vitreous grain count X 100 300 Vitreous grain percentages are reported correct to the nearest whole number.

Varietal Declaration Procedure
5.18.1 Definitions This is the recommended procedure for determining the variety of the load presented for delivery. 5.18.2 Scope This procedure is applicable to all wheat deliveries. 5.18.3 Apparatus Not applicable. 5.18.4 Reagents Not applicable. 5.18.5 Method

For the purposes of the Receival Standards and delivery of grain, classification is dependant on the point of delivery. This means that the highest grade classification available to a variety depends on the region in which it is delivered and the segregation being available at the point of delivery. Driver declares the variety(s) in the load tendered for delivery. It is recommended that the grower sign a Declaration Form and provide this to the driver for provision to the Receival Agent. This Declaration Form should at a minimum contain the grower details and the variety(s) of the load. If the declared varietal composition or paddock where the grain was grown is different for each unit tendered for delivery, or more than one variety is commingled in each delivery unit, then a separate assessment of each unit must be conducted. Note that depending on the varietal declaration and the procedures of the Receival Agent, a sample of the load may be taken and sent to a laboratory for assessment of the variety within the sample. In this instance sample is to be “as is”. Report the variety as per the following procedure using the applicable code as defined by the Receival Agent.

Ensure the screen is labelled with the correct slot/hole size, the commodity that is normally tested on the screen (wheat) and the screen identification number. For screen accuracy, place relevant checking template (testing 74 slots) centred as much as possible (use the handle as a guide) on top of screen and rotate so that all the holes line up. For discs place the disc on top of relevant checking template, rotate disc until all the holes line up then clamp with bulldog clips. Select the appropriate GO/NO GO GAUGE for the screen/disk to be tested i.e., for wheat, the wheat gauge 1.99 - 2.01mm. Hold the GO/NO GO GAUGE in the middle.

 
Place an end of the GO/NO GO GAUGE on the middle of a slot which lines up with a slot on the template so that is perpendicular to the slot. Release the GO/NO GO GAUGE. Gauges are not to be pushed through slots.   If the GREEN (GO) end does not go through then the slot fails. Record this event and move on to the next slot. If the GREEN (GO) end does go through then the slot size is greater than the nominated size of the GREEN end. Proceed to test the slot with the RED (NO GO) end as follows:  If the RED (NO GO) end does not go through then the slot size is less than the nominated size of the RED end and greater than the nominated size of the Green End, hence the slot is within the accepted range and passes. If the RED (NO GO) end does go through then the slot fails. Record this event and move on to the next slot.
   
Proceed to test all 74 slots, recording each failure. 0 to 25 slots is an acceptable failure rate.
If the screen meets the tolerances:   Record results on the equipment record Affix the relevant calibration sticker to the side of the sieve (not the catch pan)

  
With the aid of tweezers (if required), separate the bread wheat grains which can be identified by the presence of fine hairs on the brush end of the grain. Count the number of bread wheat grains separated. Calculate the percentage of bread wheats: Bread wheat (%) = Bread wheat count X 100 300

Report results to the nearest percent.
