The Wheat Breeder

NEW Gp1 milling wheat Arlington from @DSVUKSEEDS looking well in untreated plots. With good yields and excellent yellow rust & septoria ratings, it could be a very interesting variety for growers. If you're interested, speak to your merchant as availability is VERY tight!

Just finished wheat harvest 2025 and found this on the stubble! The new Zurn160 worked really well as did all my colleagues! #wheatbreeding @DSVUKSEEDS @Zurn_Harvesting

Ian Davy tells us why Agrii have added DSV Oxford to their portfolio of hard feed wheats

@SurbhiG6 Hey, we have a few breeding lines with your wild relatives insertions! We are scrutinising them for septoria resistance!

@KertonMC Where is the unlike button when you need one? When can we come see some fields with our lines in them? 😁

Behold, the purple auricle and the awns of doom! #wheatbreeding

@FredVLarsen Phenology...we have some genetics where the ear ripens gradually to a dark mahogany!

@KertonMC What is this? -phenology or a disease?

@John_Dunne_ Champion is orange midge resistant and fairly decent on septoria resistance too!

An unwelcome discovery in some wheat variety trials today. Wheat Orange Blossom Midge larvae. Many varieties are resistant but some are not. Developing grains destroyed in affected grain sites. Probably a consequence of the weather as this would be a rare pest here.

When life gives you lemons...or 'poor establishment due to very wet drilling conditions', breed for vigour and waterlogging tolerance! Look at this plot growing through the wet patch! #wheatbreeding

Very happy to see my varieties living up to their excellent septoria resistance ratings in Hampshire today. #Arlington #championwheat #Diamond @DSVUKSEEDS

@danieljack1991 Which variety?

Would this crop of wheat look any better with more than 1 Fungicide 🤔
