Breeders comments
Traditionally, main season APH varieties for southern NSW have come with a yield penalty compared to AH or APW varieties.
Boree breaks this mould, achieving yields that are equal or better than the leading main season AH varieties, but with an APH quality classification.
The combination of elite yield and the opportunity to achieve the highest available quality grade sets Boree up as a very lucrative variety to be used by southern NSW wheat growers. This variety comes with a range of beneficial features, including excellent straw strength, very wide adaptation and suitability across a range of pH and soil types, good yellow leaf spot resistance, and a relatively low risk physical grain quality package.
We believe that Boree should be regarded as an excellent main season wheat option for southern NSW growers looking to increase profitability from their wheat rotation.
