Proven Biscuit Wheat
With exceptional biscuit wheat quality, Scout remains a proven variety, both for UK milling and export market.
Scout is well suited for all soil types and rotations, both the first and second wheat slot. It has a robust disease resistance spectrum with the added benefit of resistance to orange wheat blossom midge. Scout demonstrates good resistance to sprouting.
Scout combines top quality, desired field characteristics, excellent disease resistance and good on-farm yields, ensuring its continued appeal for growers and the market.
Sowing date
Scout is best suited to drilling from early September until the end of January. It has all of the attributes for early drilling – slow primordial development, stiff straw, excellent disease resistance and high specific weight.
Scout is a little shy on tillering. We would suggest you increase your sowing rate by 25 seeds/m2 above your normal rate. Consult your agronomist.
Despite its very stiff straw, a routine application of PGR would be recommended with Scout at GS 31.
Premium potential for biscuit and export markets means that priority should be given to Scout at harvest. It should be stored separately to maximise the premium potential
