Origin & Breeding History: 'Tabasco' (experimental designation NPZ 4-7540) is the result of the cross 'Gloria' x 'Compass' conducted at Hohenleith, Germany in 2001. In 2002, 750 F2 plants were grown in a field plot and 100 tannin free elite plants were selected. In 2003, observation of single plant progenies were conducted at two locations with each selection bulk harvested. Years of line selection, replicated yield trials and multiplication followed. Selection criteria included strong seedling vigour, early flowering, early maturity, high seed yield, good protein content, high standing power and low tannin content.
Tests & Trials: The tests and trials for 'Tabasco' were conducted at the DL Seeds Sunvalley Research Farm in Morden, Manitoba during the summers of 2009 and 2010. Plots consisted of 3 replicates/variety arranged in a RCB design with each replicate consisting of 6 rows, measuring 6.0 meters in length with a row spacing of 17 centimeters. Plots were spaced approximately 0.3 meters apart. Measured characteristics were based on 60 measurements per variety per year.
