Description

Agronomic features

• Shoot emergence length for Conquest will be shorter than most wheat cultivars, so take care not to sow too deep. We recommend 3-4 cm.
• Apply Nitrogen early to maximise yield potential.
• Conquest responds well to wetter conditions and will also finish well in drier conditions.
• Low to medium fungicide inputs can be used for Conquest crops, but we recommend good early mildew control and a good ear wash fungicide.
• Good yield. Capable of 10t/ha autumn sown and irrigated.
• Good tolerance to seedling rust, adult stripe rust and BYDV. Medium tolerance to fusarium. Susceptible to a new race of leaf rust. Moderately susceptible to mildew. Autumn sown crops require three fungicide applications.
