1T WHEAT SUNBLADE CL PLUS TRT (1T BB)
Sunblade CL Plus offers a significant step forward in Clearfield® Intervix® tolerant wheat varieties, being the first to have an APH quality classification. Not only that, Sunblade CL Plus also offers a big yield advantage over many commonly grown varieties.
There has been considerable adoption of Clearfield® technology across various crop types for the control of a broad range of weeds, but until recently, growers in northern NSW and Queensland have only had limited options of suitable Clearfield® wheat varieties. Elmore CL Plus has been used in the past, but comes with a yield penalty and an AH quality classification.
Sunblade CL Plus displays a significant yield advantage over both its major parent Suntop and Elmore CL Plus, while the maturity of Sunblade CL Plus is very similar to Suntop. In general, Sunblade CL Plus is ideally suited to planting opportunities from the second week of May onwards.
Sunblade CL Plus is slightly shorter in plant height compared to Suntop, with similar lodging resistance whilst displaying similar or slightly smaller grain size.
Many growers have already adopted Sunblade CL Plus as their main season variety of choice, as it has proven to be very widely adapted throughout all wheat growing regions of northern NSW and Queensland. A combination of very high yield, APH quality classification, sound disease resistance and tolerance in a wheat variety with Clearfield technology is a very attractive option.
