[QUOTE="DSV News, post: 6982884, member: 118112"] [SIZE=7][B]The UK's cleanest variety[/B][/SIZE] [MEDIA=youtube]zuhF2J1mBt0[/MEDIA] [B]Theodore[/B] According to DSV’s UK wheat breeder Dr. Matt Kerton, the headline features of the company’s new group 4 variety winter wheat Theodore could make it a real game changer. “Theodore joined the 2020/21 RL last year with an 8.2 score for Septoria resistance, a 9 for yellow rust and a 7 for brown rust combined with a height of 82cm that gives it good resistance to lodging. “The DSV UK breeding station is located in North Oxfordshire where Septoria pressure is high and disease resistance has always been a high priority for the breeding programme. “But it is only recently, with the removal of chemistry and changes in pathogen virulences, that resistance is being taken even more seriously.” Theodore has performed very well in the trials network over the last three years with high treated and untreated yields, he says. “More and more farmers are sensibly looking at the economics of a variety rather than just its potential yield. Theodore is very much a variety for today and a great choice for the conscientious grower. “Its superb combination of disease resistance and agronomic properties points the way to genuinely lower cost wheat production in the future.” [/QUOTE]
