CELLULE

Nogal x Almirante. Alternative type, bearded wheat from Desprez in France which has been grown commercially in Ireland now for the past 3 years. Fast developing and very early maturing (similar to
Soissons), typically 10-14 days ahead of other varieties. Originally held good resistance to septoria, but that has now broken down so it is now susceptible to this disease (4). Can also get mildew.
Best as first wheat and ideally suited to later drilling. Short strawed with good lodging resistance. Excellent grain quality with high KPH, high hagberg, good sprouting resistance and above average
protein content.
