Duxford feed wheat sees Syngenta make a return: High yields and good standing power could help Duxford make an impact

摘要

A high-yielding, stiff-strawed feed wheat marks Syngenta Seeds' first return as a breeder to the HGCA's Recommended List since Reaper was listed in 2000. Duxford's introduction comes at a time when farmers are looking to produce more grain in responseto the buoyant market, says the firm's wheat expert Samantha Smith. "With 106 for yield and a nine for lodging resistance, Duxford has the much-needed combination of high yield and standing ability," she explains. "That helps to remove some of the management challenges often associated with high yielding types."
