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 />
