PBR and EPR
Suncentral 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.
Suncentral growers will be subject to a Grower License Agreement that acknowledges that an EPR of $3.60/tonne + GST must be paid on all production other than seed saved for planting.
Breeders comments
We believe that Suncentral (tested as SUN972V) is a stand-out performer across the northern region, and particularly in CQ where it offers significantly higher yields than other APH quality varieties in the same planting window.
Suncentral is a quick-mid maturing variety, comparable in maturity to LRPB Hellfire, and three days quicker than Suntop. This is an ideal maturity group for later planting situations throughout the northern region.
While a significant portion of grain production is sold to the feed industry, there is still a big advantage to having a variety with an APH quality classification, giving growers access to APH wheat export markets.
We expect Suncentral to establish itself as a dominant variety in north due to its maturity, exceptionally high yield, APH quality classification, and an excellent disease resistance package.
