In Nigeria, across locations mean per<strong>for</strong>mance data <strong>for</strong> grain yield <strong>of</strong> rust resistant lines is presented in<br />

Table 11-21. TGx 1987-62F and TGx 1987-10F gave an average grain yield <strong>of</strong> 1841 and 1719 kg per<br />

ha, respectively, in three-year multi-location on-station trials. TGx 1987-62F and TGx 1987-10F gave<br />

a respective 50% and 40% more grain yield as compared to an early maturing variety TGx 1485-1D<br />

in a three-year average per<strong>for</strong>mance. They also surpassed the recently released variety TGx 1835-10E<br />

by 33% to 41% in grain yield in the 2009 and 2010 on-station trials. These varieties mature in 96-97<br />

days on average and are capable <strong>of</strong> producing 2.6 MT per ha fodder under on-station trials condition.<br />

Besides giving high grain yields, these varieties were found to be resistant to soybean rust and other<br />

foliar diseases. In the 2009 and 2010 trials, rust incidence in these varieties was only 0.2-0.5%, as<br />

compared to the susceptible variety TGx 1485-1D that showed a 61% incidence in the same trial (Table<br />

11-22).<br />
