nabim comment: Einstein continues to be used by most millers. However, it has a tendency to produce lower protein levels with lower water absorption. For this reason, the variety requires careful agronomic management. Most millers will only be able to use restricted proportions of this variety in breadmaking grists.

A slow developing variety which has proved useful for very early drilling. nabim comment: This early sowing biscuit wheat continues to be the benchmark for Group 3 varieties. It is preferred by millers because of its milling qualities, bright white flour colour and its gluten characteristics which result in high dough extensibility.

A white-grained variety specifically recommended for the production of white grain for specialist markets

White-grained wheats are prone to sprouting in the ear with a resulting loss of Hagberg, so it is important that the variety is given priority at harvest to reduce the sprouting risk. There has been little lodging in recent years and there are insufficient data to produce ratings for newer varieties.
