POSITIVES

• Follows on from RGT Wolverine as the next step in RAGT's breeding program for BYDV resistant wheat
• Slow speed of development and prostrate growth habit make it suitable for early sowing, when BYDV risk is high
• BYDV resistant varieties reduce the need for foliar applied insecticide sprays - benefitting management and environmental considerations

NEGATIVES

• Very little data available on the variety at present
