Conclusion• 2009: Mace is a consistent performer across all Agzones –

suited to 2009 season• 2010: Same; adaptable to the 2010 season• 2011: Same; adaptable to the 2011 season, what yellow

spot?

• 2009: King Rock suitable replacement for Bonnie Rock• 2010: Same; Sound disease package inc yellow spot• 2011: Same

• 2009: Calingiri has to go – Fortune will do for the moment• 2010: Lucky Bonus for Calingiri, maybe not so lucky in 2011• 2011: Growers hanging with Calingiri, Fortune is ready to

replace.

• 2009: Magenta requires a longer season to reach yield and quality potential

• 2010: Same• 2011: Wish granted. Develop a sound Agronomic package.

• 2009: Absent• 2010: IGW 3176• 2011: Emu Rock: AH; sound disease package inc yellow

spot; large seed size, watch sowing rates.

• 2009: Absent• 2010: VW 2316• 2011: Corack: ASW (prov), Wyalkatchem derivative;

physiological yellowing not yellow spot.

Conclusion

• 2009: IGW 3114, 3118, 3119• 2010: IGW 3119• 2011: The whole family wiped out

• 2009: Westonia is on borrowed time, replacements are here

• 2010: Not yet• 2011: Welcome Cobra (AH), Carnamah maturity.

• 2009: 2 Gene CL plus lines on the way• 2010: 2 Gene CL plus lines on the way• 2011: IGW Impose; AGT Kord & Justica. Do not over use;

reduced yield potential compared to mainstream varieties
