Breeder Comments

Tuxedo is a relatively new Group 3 variety that appears to suit biscuit and distilling markets. It can be grown as a 1^st wheat or a 2^nd wheat and whilst it does not have midge resistance it is excellent all round disease resistance. The specific weight is relatively low but an exceptionally good Hagberg should result in very good sprouting resistance.
