PLANT VARIETIES JOURNAL 1999 VOL <strong>12</strong> NO. 4<br />

COMMON VETCH<br />

Vicia sativa<br />

‘Morava’<br />

Application No: 99/0<strong>12</strong> Accepted: 20 Jan 1999.<br />

Applicant: Minister for Primary Industries, Natural<br />

Resources and Regional Development, Adelaide, SA and<br />

Grains Research and Development Corporation, Barton,<br />

ACT.<br />

Characteristics (Table 14, Figure 47) Plant: common vetch<br />

suitable for hay, grain and green manuring, height tall, time<br />

of flowering mid season maturity (indeterminate), semierect.<br />

Foliage: at early stage both leaf and stem reddish later<br />

turns dark green colour (RHS 139A). Flower: colour redpurple<br />

(RHS 74A). Pod: shape straight, pod length<br />

50.71mm and maximum width 7.29mm, pod colour at<br />

maturity greyed-orange (RHS 164B). Seed: shape spherical,<br />

size small, cotyledon colour yellow-orange (RHS 23D),<br />

testa colour brown (RHS 200C). Disease resistance: highly<br />

resistant to rust (Uromyces viciae-fabae), resistant to<br />

Ascochyta.<br />

Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: seed parent<br />

‘Blanchefleur’ x pollen parent IK-5, with final cross made<br />

in 1992. The parent plants were distinguishable from<br />

‘Morava’ in terms of flower and cotyledon colour, disease<br />

resistance, leaf and stem colour in early and later growth<br />

stages. A single-plant, single-row pedigree system was<br />

employed. Selection of single plants started with the F 2<br />

generation. In the F 3 generation selection made for grain<br />

and herbage yield, disease resistance and non-shattering of<br />

pods. Replicated yield trials started in F 4 . Selection criteria:<br />

increased grain and herbage yield, disease resistance, seed<br />

softness, non-shattering of pods at harvest and wide<br />

adaptation. Propagation: by seed. Breeder: Rade Matic,<br />

SARDI, Adelaide, SA.<br />

Choice of Comparators ‘Blanchefleur’ was included in the<br />

comparative trial as this is the main vetch variety of<br />

common knowledge. ‘Blanchefleur’ is also the seed parent.<br />

The pollen parent was not considered for the trial because<br />

‘Morava’ is clearly distinguishable from IK-5 in terms of<br />

growth habit (prostrate), seed coat colour and maturity<br />

(late). ‘Languedoc’ was not included because it is<br />

distinguishable from ‘Morava’ in terms of days to first<br />

flowering (90 days for ‘Languedoc’ vs 110 days for<br />

‘Morava’).<br />

Comparative Trial Comparator: ‘Blanchefleur’. Location:<br />

Charlick Field Experimental Station, University of Adelaide,<br />

located 70km south-east of Adelaide, SA. Conditions: plants<br />

were raised in fallowed open plots. Trial design: randomised<br />

complete blocks, each plot was sown as a paired row 8m in<br />

length. The rows were 1.2 m apart. Sowing rate was 45 seeds<br />

per plot. Measurements: 10 specimens per replication<br />

selected randomly from each plot.<br />

Prior Applications and Sales<br />

No prior applications. First sold in <strong>Australia</strong> in Apr 1999<br />

under the name ‘Morava’.<br />

CRIMSON CLOVER<br />

Trifolium incarnatum<br />

‘Blaza’<br />

Application No: 99/146 Accepted: 9 Jun 1999.<br />

Applicant: SEEDCO, Hilton, SA.<br />

Characteristics (Table 15, Figure 61) Plant: annual,<br />

upright, moderately tall, mid to late season maturity. Stem:<br />

medium thickness, round cross section, branched in some<br />

plants, green or with some anthocyanin pigmentation, pithy<br />

core tending to slight hollow centre, moderately pubescent.<br />

Petiole: green or with some anthocyanin pigmentation in<br />

some plants, slightly pubescent. Leaf: large trifoliate,<br />

leaflets generally heart shaped with a slight indentation at<br />

the distal end of the midrib, green with variable anthocyanin<br />

pigmentation centred about the midrib, no other<br />

pigmentation, sparsely to moderately pubescent on both<br />

lower with prominent darker green veining. Inflorescence:<br />

large terminal spike, to ~ 6cm in length, cylindrical or cigar<br />

shaped, with up to 100 florets per spike, spike upright<br />
