RGT Lantern

Breeder: RAGT	Printable PDF
Type: Group 4, Hard Feed	Pedigree: Kielder x Relay

Variety Positioning

Missed recommendation by a small margin, but still under evaluation by Agrii R&D.
It is an interesting cross including Relay, which was a very useful stalwart as a variety and indications are RGT Lantern should be a very useful second wheat.
Medium length straw and reasonably stiff but use a decent pgr programme to optimise the yield potential.
Grain quality decent enough with HFN 271 and specific weight 75.7.
Good disease scores so far for mildew, yellow rust, brown rust and tritici .
A little later in maturity and RGT Lantern is resistant to orange wheat blossom midge.
Well worth a try in the second wheat slot.
