42 Genesis TM 509 Genesis 509 is a widely adapted desi chickpea with foliar resistance to AB. Its flowering and maturity timing are earlier than Genesis 508 and Howzat. Genesis 509 has medium plant height, and moderate resistance to lodging. Seed size will predominately be in the 5-6mm range, smaller and darker than Howzat and PBA Slasher. Genesis 509 has generally yielded similarly to Genesis 090 but less than PBA Slasher in SA. Fungicide management trials have indicated that foliar sprays only during podding are required to successfully grow this variety. Seed is available through Australian Agricultural Crop Technologies. Notes on selected kabuli chickpea varieties Almaz A Almaz is a medium to large seeded kabuli type commercialised by AWB Seeds. Seed size is generally larger than Kaniva, with superior foliar AB resistance but inferior to that of Genesis 090. It has been 15-35% lower yielding than Genesis 090 in southern Australia and will generally require two to four foliar fungicide sprays, including a first application six to eight weeks after sowing, to successfully grow it in this region. Genesis TM 079 Genesis 079 is a high yielding small seeded kabuli type with foliar resistance to AB and is likely to only require fungicide sprays during podding. Genesis 079 has small seed (6-7mm) and very high relative grain yields in short season environments. Genesis 079 has produced high and consistent yields in medium and low rainfall districts of SA and may have a greater potential to be crop topped and/or wick-wiped to control resistant rye grass than other varieties in these environments. Some seed of Genesis 079 is available through Australian Agricultural Crop Technologies. Genesis TM 114 Genesis 114 is a medium to large seeded (8-9 mm) kabuli type chickpea with yields higher than Almaz and Kaniva but less than the smaller seeded Genesis 090. Genesis 114 has moderate foliar resistance to AB which will require Table 3. Predicted long term yields of selected desi chickpea varieties grouped by region in SA.

Its flowering time is similar to Almaz and later than Genesis 090 and its plant height is medium to tall with an erect plant type. Harvestibility of Genesis 114 is excellent with greater height to lowest pod than Genesis 090 and Almaz. Seed size will predominately be in the 8 and 9 mm range and other grain quality characteristics are generally consistent with other kabuli chickpea varieties. Genesis 114 will be available in 2011 through Australian Agricultural Crop Technologies. Genesis TM 090 Genesis 090 was the first kabuli type released in Australia with foliar resistance to AB. It is a small to medium seeded kabuli and is therefore unlikely to attract the higher prices of larger seeded types eg Almaz and Genesis 114. Genesis 090 has medium height with semi-erect branches. Under high AB disease pressure Genesis 090 will require fungicide protection during podding to prevent seed blemish and yield loss. Due to its similar (Genesis 509) or slightly lower (PBA Slasher) yields but current higher price than desi varieties in southern Australia, this variety offers chickpea growers a high yielding AB resistant alternative to desi chickpeas with potential for higher returns in some years and environments. Seed is available through Australian Agricultural Crop Technologies. Genesis TM 115 Genesis 115 is a large seeded kabuli type similar to Genesis 114 but with later flowering and larger seed size. It is commercialised by Australian Agricultural Crop Technologies and limited quantities of seed may be available for 2012. Genesis 115 has the largest seed size of all commercial kabuli types hence more able to meet the size requirements of premium high valued markets, however yield and disease resistance are inferior to the small kabuli types and equivalent to Almaz and Genesis 114.

Pea variety sowing guide 2012 By Michael Lines, Research Officer- SARDI, Larn McMurray, Research Scientist- SARDI & Tony Leonforte, Field Pea Breeder- DPI Victoria Two new dun type pea varieties with improved tolerance to bacterial blight (PBA Oura – OZP0703 & PBA Percy – OZP0901) will be released for 2012 sowings. PBA Oura has a semi leafless plant type similar to Kaspa, but with wrinkled dun seed and slightly increased lodging susceptible at maturity. PBA Percy has a conventional plant type similar to Parafield and is susceptible to lodging. Both varieties have high yield potential, are broadly adapted and perform relatively well in short growing seasons and low rainfall climates. Both varieties are earlier flowering and maturing than Kaspa and will be better suited to crop topping and delayed sowing for blackspot management than Kaspa. These varieties will be of particular importance to growers in areas at risk of bacterial blight infection due to their improved tolerance to this disease and lower yield loss when infected by this disease than all other varieties (including Parafield which is currently the preferred variety in these areas). Both have been developed by Pulse Breeding Australia (PBA), and are licensed to Seednet. Two advanced field pea lines are currently under multiplication for potential release in 2012. OZP0819 is a semileafless white pea variety which has performed particularly well across short and long season climates over recent seasons. It has high early vigour and erect growth, with excellent standability at maturity. It is early to mid flowering, and like PBA Oura and Percy does not have the pod shatter resistance trait (like Kaspa, PBA Gunyah and PBA Twilight) but is not prone to shattering. It has a favourable disease resistance profile, with good tolerance to bacterial blight and good resistance to downy mildew and bean leafroll virus. OZP0902 is a late flowering and late maturity conventional pea suitable for forage production as an alternative to vetch. It produces small white seed, but has lower seed yield that Morgan (which is generally considered a dual purpose variety) but also has higher biomass production. OZP0902 also has improved resistance to powdery mildew over Morgan. There are a number of alternative variety options that growers can choose instead of the major varieties PBA Gunyah, PBA Twilight, Kaspa and Parafield. These may provide specific advantages such as for example, higher frost tolerance (e.g. Sturt), powdery mildew resistance (e.g. Yarrum), white seed type (SW Celine) or forage potential (e.g. Morgan). However they also have specific limitations that restricts their widespread adaptation broadly across SA such as susceptibility to downy mildew, late flowering and or maturity or specific herbicide sensitivity. In addition they may also be difficult to sell and market Michael Lines from SA (e.g. small seed or white seeded types). The agronomic practice of early sowing of field peas was again popular in 2011. This practice is desirable to maximise grain yield but it has led to significant yield loss through black spot infections and frost in some years. If dry or early sowing is to be practiced all other management strategies to reduce black spot disease risk must be employed, however for the medium and high rainfall areas it is strongly recommended to delay sowing peas regardless of variety until the peak black spot spore release period has occurred due to the higher risk of increased disease epidemics. The disease forecasting model ‘Blackspot Manager’ identified a reduced blackspot risk for 2011 due to the high incidence of summer rain, resulting in early spore release. PBA Oura and PBA Percy (as well as 2010 releases PBA Gunyah and PBA Twilight) offer growers the option to delay sowing to reduce blackspot infection with reduced risk of yield loss Table 1.
