POSITIVES
• Best performance as a first wheat and on heavy land.

• Tall but stiff strawed which responds well to PGR.
• Attractive clean, golden coloured straw at ripening.
NEGATIVES
• North region yield just behind other mainstream soft wheats.
• Height may require monitoring.
• Average resistance to Septoria tritici and looks to have broken down to yellow rust in 2020.
