Impact of sowing date. WOSR requires 90 degree days from germination. 150 degree days required for one pair of leaves. Slower germination in later mid September sown crops/trials from 13 th on. Met Eireann data explains some 2012 problems: - Coolest September in 18 years. - Temps 1.1 degrees C below average. - All highest temp. in first week. - Valentia had lowest max temp in 20 years.

Recommended List trait scoring system Yield given as percentage of the control varieties. Control=100 Traits recorded on a score of 1-9. High figure desirable in most cases. 8 = very resistant. 7 = good resistance. 6 = moderate resistance. 5 = moderate susceptibility. 4 = susceptible. 1,2,3 = very susceptible. Yield and quality data at 15% moisture. Grain quality traits recorded as actual 3 year average data. (KPH, TGW, Screenings, Protein, Hagberg etc)
