New strand medics for the Eyre Peninsula and Murray Mallee - early results locations
Aims

To assess the potential of a range of multi-trait breeders’ lines for commercial development.

Key messages
  • New powdery mildew resistant hybrids have performed very well agronomically at three sites in SA (despite absence of significant powdery mildew infection this year).
  • The insecticide/nematicide aldicarb, increased medic dry matter at Arthurton by 15%.
  • Lines with putative tolerance to root lesion nematodes showed reduced root damage but overall were not as productive as the powdery mildew resistant hybrids.
