Catapult offers a unique combination of features to growers, combining this maturity type with yellow leaf spot resistance, CCN resistance and AH quality (in SA/Vic/sNSW). WA classification to be sought late 2019. Seed available for the 2020 growing season.
The highest yielding choice for late April sowing- Very flexible sowing window
- Safer option for sowing dry when germination date is unknown
- Wide adaptation, will fit the front end of most growers' cropping programs
- Excellent choice for wheat on wheat situations
- Very good physical grain characteristics, AH quality in SA/Vic/sNSW
- A great alternative to Trojan, Magenta, Cutlass and Yitpi
