GRDC – New pulse varieties to boost growers’ options (National, 7 October 2009)
Four new pulse varieties suited to the southern Australian cropping zone will be commercially available for the 2010 winter cropping season. David Shannon, Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) southern panel chair, says the new varieties are part of a pipeline of pulse varieties that will be released by PBA over a period of five years. It aims to fast-track the release to Australian growers of new pulse varieties that have better disease resistance, are higher yielding and are adapted to Australian conditions.
