Origin & Breeding History: 4PYYM82B' is a maintainer inbred line developed by Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. using a pedigree method of plant breeding. The variety originated from a complex cross between four proprietary inbred lines initiated in 2009 in Caledon, Ontario, Canada. Individual F5 and F6 lines were evaluated in nurseries in Caledon, Ontario in 2011 and 2012. In 2014, one F9 line designated as 4PYYM82B' was selected based on plant vigour, time of flowering and pod development, glucosinolate levels, saturated fats, and oil content. Breeder seed production commenced in 2021.
Tests & Trials: The comparative trials for 4PYYM82B' were conducted during the 2022 and 2023 growing seasons in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The trial included 3 replicates. The candidate and reference variety were sown side by side in the first replicate whereas varieties in the second and third replicate were completely randomized. The plots consisted of 2 rows that were 3 metres in length with spacing of 50 cm between rows. The planting density of 26 seeds per metre resulted in a total of 468 plants per variety per year. The measured characteristics were based on 30 measurements per variety per year except for silique characteristics which were based on 60 measurements per variety per year. Mean differences were significant at the 2% probability level based on LSD values.
