Stiff strawed feed wheat

[Dancingbrave]

Can not seem to find a suitable stiff enough variety on recommended list anyone got experiences good or bad with variet

 

[Dancingbrave]

We all want a good stiff strawed standing crop but what is driving your need to find the best?
Using too much bagged N?
Too much muck?
Inadequate PGR program?
Land type?

There’s a lot of Dawsum across the country that looked like it was steam rollered and there’s some that is/was standing tall. It’s all about management

You say it's all about management nothing to do with good or bad weather why would you spend time and money on Pgr if you don't have too. Humber and Riband always stood with out big pgr spend

Suppose I should’ve said risk management. Cost of pgr is very small compared to cost of N or cost implications of a flat crop.

Our Dawsum stood and the Skyscraper in the next field went down. Low rate early Dawsum Vs late 16st/ac SS. (Should have had some terpal)

Or more cmq or more moddus ?

Has anyone grown Astronomer ? It's supposed to be a 9 for standing but it's a group3 not a feed wheat

Costello was by far the best standing wheat here 10.5t/ha and 80kg bushel, Dawsum collapsed towards end of July here, typhoon was only laid on fertile patches! Not the best year to make variety decisions.

Just cut block of Dawsum. NEVER again. It wasn't just flat, it was road rollered. kin stuff.

Surely this year is the ideal year to base your variety choice on we all know now which ones have half a chance of going down and which ones have more chance of standing up

Our Grafton second wheats all stayed up apart from past the gaps in hedges where the wind and rain got through. Nearly all our Grafton first wheats went flat. The weather was too much for it a few weeks ago..

It wasn't the weather it was bad management according to Dieselrob

Happy to provide the entertainment service

FYI all my wheat stayed standing

Anyone any experience of Kws palladium ? I’m told its a good standing variety with stiff straw

Everyone has different weather.

I had it here, did a good job and It’ll be grown again

Totally disagree hardly any wheat in this area has stayed standing the weather we’ve had here in the wet west has flattened almost every crop, I can’t see how you could make variety decisions on the back of such a wet season.

No one has mentioned KWS Parkin. The Grafton replacement strangely failed to be added to the AHDB recommended list.

 

[California]

Yep, we had the seed dressers in dressing Parkin yesterday. Short, stiff, stands well, very early and yield on a par with Graham, Exstase etc. Our main variety (and our neighbours' too). Average on disease but no dramatic weaknesses. Only failed to make the recommended list as it's yield (something like 101/102% of control varieties) wasn't deemed a significant improvement on existing.

I'm going to junk off Dawsum and stick with Costello.
Can't see a single benefit of Dawsum tbh.

My thoughts exactly . Costello is reliable if not a world beater
