It is best suited to farming systems where crop topping or weed wiping of herbicide resistant ryegrass escapes is not required to prevent weed seed set.
Genisis Kalkee – Kalkee is a medium to large seeded kabuli chickpea that is a good replacement for GenesisTM114, and a larger seed size alternative to Almaz It has moderately improved ascochyta blight resistance over Almaz and offers a lower disease risk option, but a strategic fungicide strategy (2 -3 applications) similar to that used in Almaz will still be required.
PBA Magnus – large-seeded kabuli type with similar plant type to Genesis™ 090. Mid-flowering and mid maturing. Adapted to current kabuli-growing regions of Victoria and South Australia. An excellent replacement for Genesis Kalkee where an erect plant type is not essential due to its larger seed size. Very good seed size and shape.

It is particularly suited to shorter-season areas where its combination of early to mid-flowering, early maturity, high yield and good disease resistance will improve lentil reliability and economics of production. PBA Blitz is the earliest maturing lentil variety and the best option where crop topping and/or delayed sowing are practised.
PBA Bolt – PBA Bolt is an erect, early maturing red lentil with medium sized grey seed. PBA Bolt is suited to similar areas to PBA Flash where early maturity, salinity tolerance and erect growth are keys to reliable and profitable production.
PBA Hallmark XT – PBA Hallmark XTA is the highest yielding herbicide tolerant red lentil variety across Australia. It is broadly adapted, with 5-6% higher yields than PBA Hurricane XTA across the main lentil production regions in Victoria and South Australia.
PBA Highland XT – High yielding herbicide tolerant lentil; 6-17% long term yield advantage over PBA Hurricane XTA in Victorian Mallee and most of South Australia.
PBA Hurricane XT – Highest yielding small red lentil; 5-12% long term yield advantage over PBA Herald XTA and Nipper. Mid-maturity broadly adapted variety with earlier flowering, improved vigour and increased plant height over PBA Herald XTA and Nipper.
PBA Jumbo – PBA Jumbo is a high yielding large seeded red lentil. It is suited to most current lentil growing areas where it has consistently yielded around 15% higher than Aldinga. PBA Jumbo is resistant to foliar and seed infection by ascochyta blight which is vastly improved over Aldinga and Nugget. PBA Jumbo is well suited to no-till, inter-row sowing into standing stubble.

Good early vigour, mid flowering and maturity, improved boron tolerance (MI) and high resistance to root lesion nematodes (MR).
Green Lentils:
PBA Giant – High yielding large green lentil variety with improved yield over Boomer in Victoria (5-10% on average) and similar yield in South Australia. Improved shattering resistance compared to Boomer. Largest seed size Australian green lentil variety. Broadly adapted variety, best suited to medium rainfall lentil growing regions.
PBA Greenfield – PBA Greenfield is a medium-sized green lentil and is now the highest yielding green lentil variety available in Australia. Its yield is comparable with recent high yielding red lentil varieties.
LUPINS
Bateman – Tall, early-flowering lupin variety with improved virus resistance.
Coyote – Newest narrow leaf variety with a slight yield increase over Jurien and Bateman. Has less Phomopsis resistance than Jurien and Bateman.
Lawler – widely adapted variety, offering growers high and stable yields across all NSW, Victorian and South Australian lupin growing regions.

It is a mid-flowering field pea, similar to PBA Taylor and mid maturing, slightly later than PBA Butler. APB Bondi exhibits the same kaspa-type features as previous varieties– semi dwarf, semi leafless plant type, with non-shattering pods and kaspa-type seed.
GIA Kastar – Improved tolerance to common in crop and residual IMI herbicides for more effective weed control.
PBA Butler – A mid to late flowering semi-dwarf field pea variety. PBA Butler has high yield potential and produces ‘Kaspa-type’ grain adapted better to regions with relatively higher yield potential (at least medium rainfall).
PBA Noosa – Blue pea with improved bleaching tolerance suited to niche marketing opportunities. Good early vigour with early-mid flowering and maturity.
PBA Taylor – Kaspa type longer flowering , shorter growing.
Conventional/Dimpled Dun Type:
GIA Ourstar – The first ‘Dun’ pea offering improved tolerance to common in-crop and residual Group B herbicides for robust farming systems.
PBA PERCY – A very early flowering and maturing conventional pea (similar to Parafield) which produces dun-type grain. PBA Percy has high yield potential and is broadly adapted.
PASTURE
Parabinga – Its main attributes are increased pod size, better persistence in drier more marginal rainfall zones and improved resistance to aphids, compared to Cyprus and Harbinger
Paraggio – larger seed, compared to Jemalong, which helps provide good early seedling vigour. It demonstrates a semi-erect growth habit. It has a slightly lower, hard seed levels in comparison to most other barrel medics. This trait will allow for a stronger regeneration from seed in year two of the pasture phase. This lower hard seed level makes Parragio better suited to shorter term, pasture phase paddocks.
