Sting growers will be subject to a Grower License Agreement that acknowledges that an EPR of $3.50/tonne + GST must be paid on all production other than seed saved for planting.
Breeders comments
Arising from a Mace backcross, Sting has emerged out of our breeding program as a high yielding, quicker maturing variety which is particularly suited to the low-medium rainfall environments of WA.
We view Sting as a higher yielding alternative LRPB Havoc, whilst offering a complementary variety to use in conjunction with leading variety Scepter. As an alternative to Vixen, Sting offers competitive yields with better stripe rust resistance, and is not as quick to mature, giving Sting a more flexible sowing window.
Sting offers growers a reliable physical grain quality package, with an AH quality classification.
