L.D. Inwood, Ontario In general, hard red wheats are better as a group for DON levels than other wheat types, although visual symptoms of the initial fusarium infection are about average. The standout in the hard red group is AC Morley, with a proven track record both for excellent fusarium tolerance and low toxin level production. Peter Johnson, Provincial Cereals Specialist Superior has performed well for us. Its a tall wheat with lots of straw and the yield is there. It puts out a good kernel with top test weight. To my mind, Superior is tough to beat. L. Becker, Dashwood, Ontario   innovation by activeweb  © Copyright 2005 Advantage Seeds  Privacy  Site Map
