Breeders comments
Crown rot is one of the most difficult diseases for growers to manage in the northern region. One of our challenges in breeding has been to offer varieties that maintain yield in the presence of crown rot. Intrigue does just that, providing market leading yields in crown rot affected and moisture stressed environments.
AGT trials at Narrabri under high crown rot pressure has shown Intrigue (tested as SUN1081A) as the standout performer relative to other commonly grown varieties in the mid-slow maturity window. Intrigue has also performed consistently well across both early sowing and main season NVT’s throughout the northern region, highlighting it’s wide adaptation and planting window. However, it’s very best performance has been in tougher, lower yielding situations.
Intrigue is a perfect complement to the newly released varieties Leverage and Sundancer, with Sundancer a direct LRPB Lancer replacement with wide adaptation, and Leverage being a ‘Gregory’ type with excellent top-end yield.
We view Intrigue as a higher yielding alternative to LRPB Lancer, LRPB Raider and LRPB Stealth, particularly in tougher environments. Intrigue has an APH classification for the northern zone, with high test weight and low screenings, and a very good disease resistance package, with performance in the presence of crown rot it’s major feature.
