WHAT THE BREEDER SAYS:-
Invicta was added to the HGCA Recommended List 2010-11 as the highest yielding nabim Group 3 winter wheat variety. Excellent disease resistance combined with a very good agronomic profile will give growers the opportunity to harvest higher and more consistent yields of grain which Is much in demand by a range of end-users, both domestic and international.
The UK provides an ideal environment for growing soft milling Biscuit wheats and has established a well-deserved reputation for producing this sought-after commodity. Over the last 30 years we have seen outstanding varieties being grown throughout the UK, from the early days of Norman, Longbow and Brock to Rib and, Consort, Claire and Robigus. The arrival of varieties such as Consort and Claire established new quality standards which breeders have found to be challenging, hence the current reduction in the area sown to this Group. Invicta meets all the specifications for the nabim Group 3 market and is seen as the long-term successor within this sector. A derivative of three outstanding soft milling biscuit wheats; Consort, Claire and Robigus, Invicta has the credentials required to meet not only the end-use market aspirations of growers but also has the agronomic traits essential for farmers to meet the challenges of growing wheat in today’s market.
