LG Typhoon

✚ A slower developing wheat with good resistance to Septoria tritici

✚ Good all-round foliar disease and midge resistance.

Variety Positioning

• A hard feed variety that performed consistently well in Agrii’s national trials over the past three years (96% treated, 87% untreated).

• It is a slightly lower yielding variety but opens up opportunities to
  reduce input costs due to its improved agronomic profile. It has reasonable physical grain quality (77.1 kg /hl, AHDB) but a relatively low HFN (164). 

• Suitable for all regions including areas of high sterility risk. It is adaptable across heavy and light soils and suitable for drilling from mid-September through to the end of October.

• It has performed well in the second wheat slot and has average competitiveness against grass weeds.

• Moderately tall but with average strength straw, treated (7) (6) and untreated (7) (5) and medium-late maturity (+1) (+2) and higher sprouting risk (5). 

• A good set of disease scores for mildew (6.5), yellow rust (8.8) (8.1) and Septoria tritici (7.2) (7.0), but weaker against brown rust (5.8) (4.3) and fusarium ear blight (4.9).

• Resistant to orange wheat blossom midge.
