✚ A new biscuit wheat with a ‘High’ distilling rating

✚ Good all round disease resistance and light-land suitability

Variety Positioning

• A new biscuit wheat addition to the UK Recommended List. Very high yields in both official trials (107% treated, 88% untreated) and Agrii trials last year (112% treated, 77% untreated).

• Average physical grain quality (77.1 kg/hl) and lower HFN (179s).

• Its best performance has been in the north (109% treated) in AHDB trials. It is rated ‘High’ for distilling and provisionally approved for export under uks.

• Suitable for all soil types and regions of the UK and the main drilling window through to the end of December.

• Best grown as a first wheat as it is susceptible to stem base diseases.

• Moderately tall (90cm) but relatively weak (6 treated, 5 untreated) so a robust pgr programme is essential. Medium-early maturity (+1).

• Good disease resistance against mildew (6), yellow rust (8) (8) and Septoria tritici (7) (7) but weaker against brown rust (5) (4) and eyespot (4).

• Resistanct to orange wheat blossom midge.
