Breeders comments
With unique plant characteristics, Rosemont (tested as AGTP0054) will be easily distinguished from others, being slightly taller than Coyote and PBA Jurien, with a white flower with a slight pink blush, and predominantly white seed, with a faint speckle.
Rosemont offers good seedling establishment and strong early vigour, and unlike PBA Jurien, has a low risk of split seed, contributing to the characteristics that result in improved establishment.
Rosemont delivers a robust disease resistance package, with improved stem Phomopsis resistance over Coyote, offering peace of mind to growers in higher rainfall areas when looking to graze stubbles.
Rosemont is a widely adapted variety but it's best relative performance has been observed in higher rainfall environments and the southern regions of WA.
The naming convention we have selected for our lupin varieties is Western Australian gold mines, with 'Rosemont' being a mine north of the gold fields town of Laverton.
