PBR and EPR
Coolah is protected by Plant Breeders Rights (PBR) and all production (except seed saved for planting) is liable to an End Point Royalty (EPR), which funds future plant breeding.
Coolah growers will be subject to a Grower License Agreement that acknowledges that an EPR of $3.50/tonne + GST must be paid on all production other than seed saved for planting.
Breeders comments
Coolah is well adapted to the northern region with high and stable yields, and good stem and leaf rust resistance.
Coolah is slightly shorter in stature than EGA Gregory, resulting in a lower susceptibility to lodging.
Coolah's maturity is driven by moderate photoperiod and vernalisation requirements, and matches EGA Gregory in most environments. Planted at the end of April in to early May, Coolah will maximise early moisture availability whilst still avoiding frost risk in late August.
If you grow, or are interested in growing Coolah, we suggest taking a look at new Coolah replacement, Leverage, which offers even greater increases in productivity.
