Summary
The project achieved its central objective of breeding new material that has excellent psyllid resistance and vigorous biomass yield coupled with the branchy/bushy habit and the excellent forage quality of L. leucocephala. UQ now has an array of breeding lines which will, with additional work, lead to the release of a new psyllid resistant cultivar.
