WPB DUNCAN
- High yielding, moderately early maturing variety with a very attractive agronomic profile that seems well adapated to Irish growing conditions
- Produces very good quality grain potentially suitable for milling with high KPH and high HFN – also holds very good resistance to sprouting
- Strong disease resistance profile, particularly good on Yellow Rust (8) and Mildew (7). Easy to keep clean / manage in difficult spray seasons
- Short and stiff strawed with relatively good resistance to lodging, but will require PGR if sown very early on very fertile sites
- Exhibits good early vigour and tillering capacity, this makes Duncan an excellent variety choice for min- till or direct drill systems
- Can be grown for wholecrop silage on livestock farms, also suitable for organic wheat production
