Southern NSW soybean breeding experiments – Leeton 2020 locations
Aims

The program is looking for new varieties that possess desirable combinations of yield, protein, improved agronomic traits, broad adaptation, disease resistance and high weathering tolerance.

Key messages

• BurrinjuckA achieved both a higher grain yield and protein content than SnowyA when sown in mid November compared with a mid December sowing.
• One advanced new cross was identified with superior qualities to BurrinjuckA and warrants further evaluation as a late sown clear hilum option.
• Sixty-five new BurrinjuckA backcrosses were identified as suitable for further evaluation towards releasing an enhanced BurrinjuckA line.
