Breeders comments
Tomahawk CL Plus (tested as RAC3261) is very closely related to popular variety Scepter, and offers all the benefits of Scepter along with Clearfield® tolerance.
Tomahawk CL Plus has bridged the yield gap between conventional and Clearfield® wheat varieties, delivering yields slightly above Scepter and significantly higher than the Clearfield® varieties currently grown in WA. Not only does Tomahawk CL Plus offer higher yields, it has similar disease resistance, physical grain quality, adaptation and maturity as Scepter.
This combination of traits makes Tomahawk CL Plus a great variety choice for growers who are looking to maximise their production, as well as giving them the option to use Clearfield® Intervix® technology to control certain grass and broadleaf weeds, or managing Clearfield® Intervix® soil residues from a previous crop.
