Application No: 99/006 Accepted: 18 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 21, Figure 44) Plant: dun field pea<br />

suitable for milling or stock feed, height tall, time of<br />

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

anthocyanin present, strong anthocyanin ring around the<br />

base of stipule, vein of the stipule and some on the stem<br />

persists until early to mid pod formation stage. Foliage:<br />

colour green (RHS 137B). Leaf: normal type, stipule<br />

present, medium dentation of the leaflets, sparse flecking of<br />

the stipule, stipule length and breadth 5.63 x 2.68cm.<br />

Flower: standard violet (RHS 85A) and raised, peduncle<br />

length from stem to first flower 8-10cm. Pod: shape<br />

straight, no curvature, pod length and maximum width 6.8x<br />

1.01cm, pod colour at maturity greyed-orange (RHS 163B),<br />

number of ovule 6.6 (average). Seed: shape spherical, size<br />

large, shape of starch grain simple, cotyledon colour<br />

yellow-orange RHS 22A), testa colour greyed-orange (RHS<br />

165A). (Note: all RHS colour chart numbers refer to 1995<br />

edition).<br />

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

S.A. 343 x pollen parent line S.A. 1405, with final cross<br />

made in 1989. The parent plants were distinguishable from<br />

‘Parafield’ in terms anthocyanin pigmentation, leaf type,<br />

cotyledon colour, maturity and seed size. A single-plant,<br />

single-row pedigree system was employed. Selection of<br />

single plants commenced with the F 2 generation. In the<br />

F 3 -F 4 generations, emphasis was toward selection among<br />

families. ‘Parafield’ entered as unreplicated primary<br />

breeding trial as a selected bulked F 5 line (P503-3-4) in<br />

1993. It was promoted to replicated breeding trials in 1994,<br />

and into state-wide S4 trials in 1995. Selection criteria:<br />

increased grain yield, seedling vigour, mid-season maturity,<br />

non-shattering of pods at harvest and wide adaptation.<br />

Propagation: by seed. Breeder: S. M. Ali, SARDI, Adelaide,<br />

SA.<br />

Choice of comparators ‘Dundale’ and ‘Alma’ were<br />

included in the comparative trial as these are similar<br />

varieties of common knowledge. The parental genotypes<br />

were not considered for the trial because ‘Parafield’ is<br />

clearly distinguishable from these lines in characteristics<br />

stated above.<br />

Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Dundale’ and ‘Alma’.<br />

Location: Charlick Field Experimental Station, University<br />

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

Conditions: plants were raised in fallowed open plots. Trial<br />

design: plots arranged in randomised complete blocks, each<br />

plot was sown as a paired row 3m in length. The rows were<br />

1m apart. Sowing rate was 40 seeds per plot.<br />

Measurements: 10 specimens per replication selected<br />

randomly from each plot.<br />

Prior Applications and Sales<br />

No prior applications. First sold in <strong>Australia</strong> in Apr 1998<br />

under the name P503-3-4.<br />
