Russo

✚ TThe leading 2-row RL candidate in Agrii trials over two years

✚ Standing similar to that of LG Caravelle

Variety Positioning

• Outstanding performance in the East (108%) with KWS Tardis-level yields elsewhere (106%). 

• It has performed consistently well in Agrii trials over the past two years. It has average grain quality (70.6 kg/hl).   

   

• Consistent performance across all soils types with good straw characteristics, average height, stiff straw and moderately resistant to brackling.

• It shows medium maturity in Agrii trials. 

  Good all round disease resistance against Rhynchosporium, net blotch and brown rust, but there is limited data from Agrii trials to suggest that it is more susceptible to mildew than the official rating.

• This is reflected in a good disease resilience score in 2024 trials. Resistant to barley yellow mosaic virus.
