competitive yield to ‘Schooner’ in the statewide average.
SBWI-1 was named as ‘Lofty Nijo’ in 2000 for commercial
release. Selection criteria: yield in SA conditions, good
malting performance. Propagation: by self-pollinated seed.
Breeders: Mr. Kensuke Ogushi, Wataru Saito, Shoichi Arai,
Kazuo Kibe, Shoei Miura, Takashi Asakura, Susumu
Takahashi and Yoshiro Aida, PBRL, Sapporo Breweries
Ltd., Gumma, Japan.
Choice of Comparators the following comparators were
chosen on the basis of seasonal types – ‘Franklin’ A ,
‘Gairdner’ A , ‘Schooner’ and ‘Sloop’ A . The parents were
not included for reasons stated above.
Comparative Trial Location: Turretfield Research Centre,
Rosedale, SA in 1999. Conditions: sown in June, 1999 in
plots 8 rows by 5 metres, seeding rate was 60 kg/ha,
corresponding to approximately 150 seeds per square
metre. Hence, each replicate contains approximately 850
seeds. Trial design: randomised complete block.
Measurements: qualitative traits (e.g. maturity) were
measured on a whole plot basis whereas quantitative traits
were measured on 10 plants per plot (ear length, awn
length) or 100 plants per plot (uniformity of height).
Prior Applications and Sales Nil.
