Description (Table 7 Figure 40) Plant: semi-erect, annual,<br />
herbaceous aerial-seeding legume. Stem: mean length<br />
354mm, width 5.4mm, pubescent. Leaf: mean length<br />
28mm, width 16mm, dark green, pubescent, variable leaf<br />
markers. Flowering: 124 days post sowing. Seed: hard,<br />
approx. 97% at maturity, variable colours including green,<br />
yellow, brown and black. Seedling: mean weight 8.38 x<br />
<strong>10</strong> -4 g. Disease tolerance: tolerant to Kabatiella caulivora,<br />

mite, contains low levels of formononetin and coumestrols,<br />
nil content of genistein and biochanin A.<br />
Origin Field selection: overseas accessions, primarily<br />
conducted in the south east region of SA 1990-1995.<br />
Breeder: AD Craig, South <strong>Australia</strong>n Research and<br />
Development Institute, Struan, SA. Selection criteria:<br />
flowering time, herbage yield, seed yield, seedling density,<br />
hardseed content, isoflavone content, coumestrol content,<br />
nutritive value, Kabatiella tolerance, redlegged earth mite<br />
tolerance. Propagation: seed.<br />
Comparative Trial Comparator: ‘Paradana’. Location:<br />
Struan Research Centre, Naracoorte, SA, Jun 1996 – Jan<br />
1997. Conditions: sown as seeds and raised as single spaced<br />
plants in the field. Trial design: 20 single spaced plants<br />
grown in each of four non-randomised rows (replicates).<br />
Measurements: taken from all 80 plants.<br />

Application No: 96/075 Accepted: 16 Apr 1996.<br />
Applicant: The Strategic Industry Research Foundation,<br />
Melbourne, VIC.<br />
Description (Table 8, Figure 35) Plant: tall, semi prostrate,<br />
2 row, maturity mid season, spring barley, foliage light<br />
green. Flag leaf: anthocyanin colouration of auricles<br />
medium. Awn: tip anthocyanin colouration weak.<br />
Origin Controlled pollination: breeding line ‘75031’ x<br />
‘Elgina’ 1979 followed by modified pedigree selection<br />
method. Breeder: Victorian Institute for Dryland<br />
Agriculture, Horsham, VIC. Selection criteria: improved<br />
yield, grain plumpness and malting quality in the 400mm –<br />
500mm rainfall districts of VIC. Selection done in F 4<br />
generation and subsequent compositing of reselections<br />
done at F 9 . Propagation: by 6 generations by open<br />
pollination following the composition of reselections.<br />
Comparative Trial Comparators: ‘Schooner’, ‘Franklin’ A ,<br />
‘Parwan’, ‘Skiff’. Location: Plant Breeding Centre, Lower<br />
Norton via Horsham, VIC, Jun 1996 – Dec 1996.<br />
Conditions: the trial was grown under dryland conditions on<br />
a self mulching grey cracking clay (Ug5.2, Northcote 1965).<br />
Trial design: plots 20m by 6-rows arranged in a randomised<br />
block design with 3 replicates, each replicate consisting of<br />
approximately 2,500 plants. Measurements: taken on <strong>10</strong>-12<br />
randomly selected plants from each replicate.<br />
