Narrative

Origin and Breeding: Open-pollination followed by recurrent selection: several accessions introduced from Argentina were screened at three locations in south-west Victoria. Each accession was tested for coumarin and the 20 plants with the lowest level of coumarin were allowed to open cross-pollinate in the field. All other plants were destroyed before flowering. The progenies of each of these plants were sown as replicated experiments on saline land to determine combining ability. A sub-sample of each of these progenies was also sown as spaced plants and tested again individually for coumarin content. Four parent lines were selected, and of these the best two plants from each parental line with the lowest level of coumarin were allowed to cross-pollinate in the field. Parental material distinguishable from the candidate variety by coumarin level. Selection criteria: coumarin levels significantly lower than the original population. Propagation: by seed. Breeder: Pedro Evans, DPI Hamilton, VIC.
