PLANT VARIETIES JOURNAL 2000 VOL <strong>13</strong> NO. 1<br />

selected in 1996. Selection criteria: flower shape, flower<br />

size, plant stability, foliage colour. Propagation: a number<br />

of mature stock plants were generated from this seedling<br />

through cuttings and found to be uniform and stable.<br />

‘Dueriwhiteye’ will be commercially propagated by<br />

vegetative cuttings from stock plants. Breeder: Marga<br />

Dummen, Rheinberg, Germany.<br />

Choice of Comparators ‘Paradise Improved Samoa’ was<br />

considered for the comparative trial as the most similar<br />

variety of common knowledge. The Red Fox Riviera series<br />

varieties are similar to the Paradise series varieties in flower<br />

size, number, colour and earliness. All other varieties<br />

available in <strong>Australia</strong> were excluded because of their lack of<br />

similarity to either of the above series varieties.<br />

Comparative Trial Comparator: ‘Paradise Improved<br />

Samoa’. Location: trials conducted at F&I Baguley Flower<br />

and Plant Growers, Clayton South, VIC, Mar-Jul 1999.<br />

Conditions: plants raised on their own roots from cuttings<br />

planted into 150mm pots in commercial pine bark potting<br />

mix on raised glasshouse benches. Pots were watered and<br />

fed using a drip system (one dripper / pot). The glasshouse<br />

walls and roof were sprayed with whitewash at the start of<br />

the trial. All plants were subjected to the same spray<br />

chemical treatments to maintain health. Trial design: 12<br />

plants of each variety were arranged in rows.<br />

Measurements: from all trial plants.<br />

Lolium multiflorum<br />

Italian Ryegrass, Shortlived Ryegrass<br />

‘Robust’<br />

Application No. 1996/041 Accepted: 20 Mar 1996.<br />

Applicant: Upper Murray Seeds, Tooma, NSW.<br />

Characteristics (Table 29) Ploidy: tetraploid. Plant: habit<br />

upright, maturity early, height of fertile tillers at maturity<br />

medium (mean 105.43cm – pulled). Flag leaf: length long<br />

(mean 220.40mm), width wide (mean 11.65mm).<br />

Inflorescence: spike length long (mean 379.78mm), spikelet<br />

length medium (23.35mm), density medium, early heading<br />

(9th Nov).<br />

Origin and Breeding Open pollination: between Lolium<br />

multiflorum ‘USA Tetilla’ and ‘Gulf’. The parental varieties<br />

were imported from USA and allowed to outcross at<br />

applicant’s property in Tooma, NSW in 1988. The parental<br />

variety ‘USA Tetilla’ is characterised by shorter spike<br />

length and earlier maturity. During 1989-90 the open<br />

pollinated progenies were selected for autumn/winter<br />

growth and the ability to grow into the second and third<br />

years like diploid Italian ryegrasses. Further testing was<br />
