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 />

‘Elgina’ 1979 followed by modified pedigree selection<br />

method. Breeder: Victorian Institute for Dryland<br />

Agriculture, Horsham, VIC. Selection criteria: improved<br />
