Alejandro Hernandez, research manager at the Guelph -based seed company. -says the decision to support the new varieties. was made at the Jan- uary 21 OOPSCC meeting in London. • According to Hernandez, the decision by•OOPSCC means•tnat fol- • lowing registration, First Line Seeds will be able to offer Ontario soybean growersa full range of Roundup Ready soybean varieties, across all maturities, including the only early season Roundup Ready variety in the 2600 HU .range. "It's not the number of va- rieties that arc supported that's important," says Hernandez. "What's important is the fact that we will have varieties to meet the needs of -grower,s-in-all-regions of the province." The first five varieties that • First Linc Seeds will submit for registration are: 2601R* (at 2650 HU); • • 2701 R* (at 2700 HU);. 280-1R* (at 2800 HU); 310IR* (at 1100 HU): and 3201R* (a( 3250 HU) Company president. Peter Hannam. said the Committee's decision to support the Roundup Ready varieties speaks favorably of First Line's research and development program. "Our view has always been to consider soybeans in terms of packages of features or traits. The more complete the package, the better the variety. To the extent that enhanced herbicide tolerance adds to that package, we believe new varieties with this particular trait will help to better meet the e n eds of the province's growers." Hannam says that First Line Seeds will also use the registration and launch of its Roundup Ready varieties in 1998 to introduce a new numbering system for varieties with 'enhanced agronomic traits' such as herbicide -tolerance. The new system is based on the maturity -area (heat units) and the enhanced trait (eg. Roundup Ready) of the variety.

The workshop is being -- offered with the goal of enhancing community level knowledge of for- est management principles and practices in order to encourage in- formed and sound management de- cisions by woodlot owners. Re- ductions in funding over the past couple of years has reduced the availability of government services providing advice and assistance to private woodland owners. It is hoped - educational opportunities such as this one can help to offset the reduced access to information by providing participants with val- uable woodland management knowledge that will be of benefit to them and which can be passed on to their neighbors or other members of their community.
