candidate has brown awn colour. The parents were not
included on the basis of characteristics as stated above. The
candidate is distinguishable from its sister line ‘Arrivato’ in
terms of later maturity and very strong hairiness of the
lower glume.
Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Tamaroi’, ‘Kronos’ and
‘Yallaroi’. Location: Howlong, NSW. Conditions: trial
conducted in open plots under normal cultural practices.
Trial design: 5m x 1.2m plots replicated 4 times in a
randomized complete block design. Measurements: taken
from 10 plants within each plot giving a total of 40
measurements for each entry.
Prior Application and Sales Nil.
Description: Peter Crane, Heritage Seeds, Howlong, NSW.
