Exsept
Exsept

Exsept is a very stiff-strawed, high yielding winter wheat with potential Group 2 quality. It has exceptional Septoria resistance, which makes it ideal for areas of the UK where Septoria is a problem, and for organic wheat production.


Exsept has a very prostrate winter habit and late primordial development which makes it particularly suitable for early drilling. Very high specific weight is combined with high Hagberg Falling Number.


Pedigree - Hereward x Torch.
