Severn Wheat
Severn is a tall, awnless, quick winter variety, adaptable to a wide range of environmental conditions. It’s winter habit requires vernalisation so is not suitable for late sowing in warmer environments for hay and grain production. Severn performs best when planted early in the sowing window with favourable moisture and nutrition, allowing you to maximise its winter habit. Dense, early tillering trait and good regrowth potential provides quality forage for grazing. Currently R-MR to stripe rust pathotype affecting other varieties. Tall final plant height making it suitable for hay and silage in spring.
Excellent standability due to good straw strength provides the option of harvesting Severn for AWW milling grade in the Southern zone and white feed quality grain elsewhere. Severn provides flexibility, when sown early, with the possibility of combination of grazing, and/or silage, hay or grain harvest at maturity.
