FEED quality. An awned, red-grained winter wheat. Mid-slow maturing variety for medium to high-rainfall zones and irrigation. Suitable for dual-purpose applications when early sowing is possible.
2022 saw the release of BigRed. At
that stage it had stood out with good
agronomic characteristics and had
almost hit 11t/ha in hyper yielding
trials. Since the release we have had many positive reports and can say that BigRed has succeeded in the field.

Long Coleoptile
Genie is an exceptionally high yielding, mid-slow AH* wheat and is an excellent alternative to RockStar in >3t/ha yield environments. In these environments the variety offers medium-high rainfall growers a 1-2% yield improvement compared to RockStar.
Genie, with its slightly later maturity than Rockstar and long coleoptile, enables earlier sowing opportunities to be maximised. The variety’s long coleoptile allows it to be sown deeper to seek moisture, an advantage when sowing into marginal moisture conditions.
