Newly Recommended wheat and oilseed rape varieties Richard Fenwick
New Recommendations • 27 new Cereal and Oilseed rape varieties • 8 winter wheat • 8 oilseed rape • 3 winter barley • 4 spring barley • 2 spring wheat • 2 spring oats • Which ones are worth considering?
Winter wheat New Recommended Varieties • Group 1 - None (but one new spring wheat) Breeder • Group 2 – KWS Podium KWS • Group 3 – Cocoon Masstock KWS Target KWS Tuxedo RAGT • Group 4 – Gravitas (Soft) Limagrain Denman (Soft) Syngenta KWS Santiago (Hard) KWS Stigg (Hard) Limagrain
Podium - end user views • nabim “Over three years of testing this variety has performed better than Einstein and meets the intake criteria. However flour extraction rates may sometimes be lower than expected” • Export ukp – bread wheat
Podium - verdict A useful set of all-round characteristics and OWBM resistance is very useful but we need to know what the millers really think of it – is it as good as Cordiale? - Wait and see
Cocoon- end user views • nabim “In three years of trials it has shown variability across the years for both grain hardness and rheological analysis and is unlikely to be a preferred Group 3 variety for all millers” • Export uks – soft wheat • Distillers Rated ‘poor’
Target - end user views • nabim “Over the three years of testing it appears to produce consistent results and is similar in biscuit performance to Robigus” • Export uks – soft wheat • Distillers Rated ‘poor’
Tuxedo - end user views • nabim “Over three years of testing there was evidence of variability between the years for dough extensibility. It is unlikely to be a preferred Group 3 variety for all millers” • Export uks – soft wheat • Distillers Rated ‘medium’
Cocoon, Target and Tuxedo - verdict Cocoon – useful yield and disease resistance but too weak and little interest from end-users. - No Target – stiff straw, good disease resistance plus OWBM resistance. Acceptable for biscuit but not for distilling. - Probably Tuxedo - good disease resistance but lacks OWBM resistance and has poor specific weight. Unlikely to be universally sought for biscuits but perhaps for distilling. - Possibly but check the market
Santiago, Gravitas, Denman and Stigg- verdicts Santiago – very high yield with weakish straw, poor disease and poor grain quality (= high input/high output) - Yes Gravitas – reasonable yield, good disease resistance but too weak - No Denman - reasonable yield but too weak. Good for distilling - Probably not Stigg – excellent disease resistance but yield too low and poor specific weight - No
