the GH in 1999 and the first field observations of the F2 population were made in<br />

winter 2000 at Roseworthy. 130 elite plants were selected and grown as F3 families in<br />

2001 at Roseworthy. After three years of agronomic and end use quality evaluation an<br />

elite line (CO5823-106) was identified and reselections taken from the F2 derived F6<br />

family. These were multiplied over summer in Horsham, and a line (CO5823-106-28)<br />

progressed to national trialling. This line (now code named RAC1423) was then<br />

evaluated for 5 years across <strong>Australia</strong> for yield, disease resistance and end use quality.<br />

RAC1423 has been included in the NVT evaluation system for four years.<br />
