Breeders comments
AGT-Bunyip IA is the first variety in the world to offer dual herbicide tolerance, combining the ever-popular tolerance to imidazolinone herbicides, and the newer CoAXium® (Aggressor® hebicide) tolerance.
Both herbicide tolerances are effective on susceptible populations of common problem grass weeds including brome grass and barley grass.
This ‘stacked’ herbicide tolerance provides increased flexibility. A grower may wish to plant AGT-Bunyip IA following a Clearfield® or imidazolinone herbicide tolerant crop to mitigate risk of residual carry-over. Aggressor® may then be used in-crop to control susceptible grass weeds. Or, either herbicide may be used in-crop for weed control.
Agronomically very similar to leading variety Maximus CL, but with increased yield and herbicide tolerance flexibility, we regard AGT-Bunyip as an excellent replacement for Maximus CL.
AGT-Bunyip IA offers a very good physical grain quality package and has entered the Grains Australia malt accreditation program, with an outcome expected in 2027.
