standards for freedom from seed staining and a likely reduction in fungicide sprays for ascochyta blight. Farah is licensed to Seedmark and an end point royalty applies. Fiesta VF Fiesta VF is early to mid flowering. It has buff coloured seed, larger than Fiord. Fiesta has good seedling vigour and is of medium height. It is classed as susceptible to chocolate spot, but is less susceptible than Fiord. Fiesta VF is more susceptible to ascochyta blight than Farah and Nura and a proactive disease management strategy is recommended to ensure market standards for clean seed are met. Fiesta VF is no longer protected by PBR, and no end point royalty applies. Broad bean varieties PBA Kareema A PBA Kareema was selected from Aquadulce with similar plant type and adaptation to this variety but with larger and more uniform seed, and no “evergreens”.

It has significantly improved resistance to ascochyta blight (MR-R) and better rust resistance (MR) than Aquadulce and is slightly less susceptible to chocolate spot than other faba beans. Like Aquadulce, PBA Kareema is more tolerant of waterlogging than most faba bean varieties, and is more tolerant of iron and manganese deficiencies. The yield of PBA Kareema has been similar to, or slightly less than, Aquadulce in trials in the south-east of SA. It is licensed to PGG Wrightson and an end point royalty applies. Aquadulce Aquadulce is a tall, late flowering and maturing broad bean variety, suited to areas with at least 500 mm average annual rainfall, such as the lower south-east of SA. It is rated as MS to chocolate spot, but can succumb to the disease under high disease pressure and rainfall situations. It is more tolerant of waterlogging than most faba bean varieties, is more tolerant of iron and manganese deficiencies. Aquadulce’s large seed size makes it a specialty bean with different marketing opportunities to faba beans. It commands a price premium over faba beans, depending on grading and seed size.

Lentil variety sowing guide 2012 By Matt Dare Research Officer SARDI, Larn McMurray Research Scientist SARDI & Michael Materne, PBA lentil breeder, DPI Victoria Pulse Breeding Australia (PBA) in conjunction with lentil commercial seed partner PB Seeds Pty Ltd (Horsham) will be releasing the first lentil variety with improved herbicide tolerance for 2012 sowings. PBA Herald XT (CIPAL 702) will be released with improved tolerance to label rates of flumetsulam (Broadstrike ® , Multitude ® ). Post emergent applications of flumetsulam at recommended rates have resulted in yield losses of up to 20 percent in all current lentil varieties on alkaline soils. The availability of PBA Herald XT will provide growers with a variety that is less prone to yield loss when an application of flumetsulam is required to control certain broadleaf weeds. PBA Herald XT also shows reduced sensitivity to some sulfonylurea and imidazolinone herbicide residues from previous crop applications, however product label rates, plant-back periods and directions for use must still be adhered to on this variety. PBA Herald XT is part of a concerted effort by the PBA lentil program to improve weed control options in lentil, further work targeting tolerance to alternative herbicide groups is ongoing. A large range of lentil variety choice is available offering growers the opportunity to exploit particular agronomic management and or market opportunities. When selecting lentil varieties growers need to take into account varietal differences in grain yield, disease resistance (botrytis grey mould and ascochyta blight), agronomic adaptation, marketability and now new herbicide tolerance. However all current varieties still have some limitations which growers need to be aware of and manage for. Careful variety selection along with the correct implementation of recommended agronomic management packages (see PBA variety release brochures, Lentil ute guide and www.pulseaus. com.au for detailed management information) will increase the chances of maximising grain yield and quality. Growers can spread their disease, yield and marketing risks by growing more than one variety, providing the varieties chosen differ in their disease, maturity and marketing characteristics. Variety purity is very important in lentils with a restriction of 1% for varieties not of the same type. This is of particular concern when growing varieties with different seed coat colour and or different cotyledon colour (Table 2). Be aware of the potential for contamination from volunteer or ‘escaped’ lentils in paddocks when changing to new varieties with different seed coat colours i.e. Northfield to Nipper, Nugget to PBA Flash or Aldinga Matt Dare to PBA Jumbo. Seed dressings are recommended particularly if growers are sowing seed which was infected with disease in 2011. Price differences can occur between varieties across seasons, however growers need to produce high quality seed in all varieties to secure markets and achieve the highest prices. On farm storage can assist in attaining the highest price for grain in some seasons and allow lentils with poor quality issues or contaminants to be stored until appropriate cleaning and marketing can occur. Timely harvesting is recommended in lentils to minimise seed discolouration and weather damage and also to reduce the risk of yield loss from strong wind events on the ripe crop. Selection criteria Information on the most important selection criteria, grain yield, disease resistance, maturity, standing ability, shattering and seed type/quality for each variety can be found in Tables 2-3. When selecting a variety growers also need to consider their individual farm Table 1. Lentil variety sowing guide 2012.
