Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: The final
cross was made in 1986 between seed parent 79A078-14-10
x pollen parent F1 of 84A041 (‘Gungurru’/CE2-1-1). The
seed parent was characterised by higher phomopsis levels
(score 3) and seed alkaloid levels (168% of standard), while
‘Quilinock’ has lower phomopsis levels (score 6) and lower
seed alkaloid levels (80% of standard). From this cross,
‘Quilinock’ is a F7 derived single plant selection. The
variety was selfed for 7 generations of selection and
evaluation in small-scale breeder’s trials and 6 years
performance testing in the Crop Variety Testing program
run by Agriculture Western Australia. Selection criteria:
increased grain-yield, grain quality, adaptation to low and
medium rainfall zones of WA, SA, VIC and NSW.
Propagation: by seed. Breeder: Dr Wallace Cowling and Dr
J Gladstones, Agriculture Western Australia, South Perth,
WA.
Choice of Comparators ‘Gungurru’ and ‘Kalya’ A were
chosen as comparators because they are both early
flowering varieties similar to ‘Quilinock’. ‘Gungurru’ is
also represented in the pollen parent of the candidate (F1 of
‘Gungurru’/CE2-1-1) and ‘Kalya’ A (‘Warrah’/79A078-14-
10) also shares the parent 79A078-14-10 with the
candidate. Both comparators are varieties of common
knowledge.
Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Gungurru’, ‘Kalya’ A .
Location: Avon Districts Centre for Cropping Systems,
Northam, WA. Sown 2/6/99. Conditions: plants were raised
in red loam pH 5.6 in CaCL2 in open beds. The plots were
treated with glyphosate plus Bladex® at 2.2l/ha on 30/5/99.
Hoegrass® at 1.5 l/ha on 1/7/99 and Sertin® at 250 ml/ha
on 17/7/99 were applied for grass control. No treatment for
disease or insect control was required. Agras No 1 w120
kg/ha was drilled with the seed. Trial design: plants sown in
randomised complete blocks 10 meters long by 1.42 meters
wide (8 rows) by 2 replications. Measurements: taken from
10 specimens per replicate selected from approximately
2000 plants. One sample per plant.
Prior Applications and Sales
No prior applications. First sold in Australia in Mar 1999.

Origin and Breeding Controlled pollination: seed parent
‘Gala’ x pollen parent ‘Splendour’. The cross was made in
1975 at Havelock North, New Zealand. Seed from the cross
was planted and grown onto fruiting where seedling GS494
was selected from the family for outstanding fruit quality.
Trees were propagated onto clonal rootstock. GS494 was
later commercially released as ‘Sciearly’. The new variety
