TBYB comparing Siokra 253B3XF to a field of Sicot 606B3F under the same management in a mungbean fallow field. This site was sown into a rising plain of temperatures in late August. The good bed preperation ensured decent establishment of 8-10 plants/m. Moderate mirid pressure was exerted on this trial in early squaring resulting in some tipping-out and retention-loss. The Sicot 606B3F began flowering just before the Siokra 253B3XF at the start of December.
