Breeders comments
Northern growers looking to increase profitability should look no further than new variety AGT-Kudos.
AGT-Kudos is regarded as an excellent replacement for widely grown variety LRPB Lancer, offering vast improvements in yield and profitability, but with similar maturity, plant type and physical grain quality characteristics.
AGT-Kudos will also be compared to newly released Sundancer. NVT data suggests that AGT-Kudos holds a yield advantage over Sundancer when sown in early trials, while Sundancer has a slight advantage when sown in the main season planting window. Agronomically, AGT-Kudos has better test weight, sprouting tolerance and lodging tolerance than Sundancer.
Importantly for northern growers, AGT-Kudos has been shown to perform in the presence of crown rot, maintaining its yield advantage over LRPB Lancer when crown rot is present, and increasing its advantage over Sundancer.
A well-rounded variety for late April/early May plantings in the north, AGT-Kudos is set to attract a large following with growers who are looking for the next step in profitability.
