RUFUS
New Hard Feed RL Candidate with OWBM resistance
Rufus is a new hard Group 4 RL Candidate 2024.
It combines very high UK yields with excellent agronomics and grain quality.
Rufus performs particularly well in the East and West, with exceptional yields. It has moderate height, very stiff straw, is
early to ripen and has a very good specific weight.
With excellent resistance to yellow rust, Septoria tritici and OWBM resistance, Rufus is an excellent feed choice for all farms.
