Variety Description

Varieties used for comparison: '90M01', '90Y30' and '26-10RY'

Summary: '90Y21' flowers earlier than '90M01' and '26-10RY'. The hairs on the middle of the stem of '90Y21' are grey while they are tawny for '90Y30'. When 50% of the pods are ripe, '90Y21' has a shorter plant height than '26-10RY'. The seed shape of '90Y21' is elongate while it is spherical rounded for '90Y30' and spherical flattened for '90M01' and '26-10RY'. '90Y21' has a yellow hilum while the hilum is imperfect yellow for '90Y30' and grey for '26-10RY'. '90Y21' matures earlier than '26-10RY' but later than '90Y30'.

Origin & Breeding History: '90Y21' (experimental designations XB02U10, PH10005) is the result of a cross made in 2003/2004 between 'YB01D05' and '90M01' in Chile. The modified single seed descent method and pedigree method were used to develop the variety. The F1-F2 generations were grown in Puerto Rico. The F3 generation was grown in Chile. The F3:4 generation onward was grown in Minnesota and advanced based on yield for single plants and progeny rows. Single plant purification occurred in 2007/2008 in Chile. Wide area testing continued from 2008-2010 in the USA and Canada. Selection criteria included yield, maturity, resistance to Roundup branded herbicides and to Phytophthora megasperma and Iron Chlorosis on calcareous soils.

Tests & Trials: Test and trials were conducted in Monkton, Ontario during the 2011 growing season. Plots consisted of 2 rows with a row length of 4 meters and a row spacing of 76 cm. There were 3 replicates. Results were supported by the official technical examination report 201000567, purchased from the Plant Variety Protection Office, Beltsville, Maryland, USA.
