PBA Jurien is a high yielding Australian sweet lupin variety suitable for all lupin growing areas of Australia and it provides a significant yield improvement over current varieties in most of these regions. 

PBA Jurien was tested as WALAN2385

Main advantages

PBA Jurien is an Australian sweet lupin variety suitable for all lupin growing areas of Australia. It provides a significant yield improvement over current varieties in most regions.

PBA Jurien is resistant to anthracnose, phomopsis, and grey spot. Seed dressings are still recommended to reduce the risk of seed borne anthracnose infections.

PBA Jurien is moderately susceptible to brown spot and lupin agronomic practices should be followed for this disease.

Seed protection and royalties

PBA Jurien is protected under Plant Breeder’s Rights (PBR) legislation. Growers can only retain seed from production of PBA Jurien for their own seed use.

An End Point Royalty of $2.75 per tonne (GST inclusive), which includes breeder royalties, applies upon delivery of this variety.

Seed is available from the commercial partner Seednet.

Disease management

  • Resistant (R) to anthracnose, similar to PBA Barlock and Tanjil. Seed dressings are still recommended to reduce the risk of seed borne infections.
  • Resistant (R) to phomopsis stem blight, similar to PBA Gunyidi, Coromup and Mandelup.
  • Resistant (R) to grey spot, equivalent to PBA Barlock.
  • Moderately susceptible (MS) to brown spot. Current best practices for disease management should be followed.

Virus

  • Moderately resistant (MR) to Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV) seed transmission, equivalent to PBA Gunyidi and Mandelup.
  • Moderately resistant (MR) to Bean Yellow Mosaic Virus (BYMV) and Black Pod Syndrome (late infection BYMV), similar to Jenabillup, and better than PBA Barlock.

Breeding

PBA Jurien (tested as WALAN2385) was developed by the PBA Lupin breeding program, led by the Department of Agriculture and Food Western Australia.

PBA Jurien is from a 2003 cross, 03A013R-ARR1-54, between 03L F1 female bulk 1 and 95L335-17-15 (=WALAN2231).

PBA Jurien is named after the coastal town of Jurien Bay, which is adjacent to major lupin growing regions in WA. The word “Jurien” originates from an old Swedish male name originating from the Low German name Jurian or Jurien which is a variant of Georg. The original meaning is “Farmer”.
