NEW Gp1 milling wheat Arlington from @DSVUKSEEDS looking well in untreated plots.
With good yields and excellent yellow rust & septoria ratings, it could be a very interesting variety for growers.
If you're interested, speak to your merchant as availability is VERY tight!
Just finished wheat harvest 2025 and found this on the stubble! The new Zurn160 worked really well as did all my colleagues! #wheatbreeding @DSVUKSEEDS @Zurn_Harvesting
