SY Gold
Maximum Yield
Hard Red Winter
When managed, SY Gold has equaled or out-performed all competitors, including TAM 111 on dryland and Dumas under Irrigation. It offers leaf rust resistance, good straw strength, high test weights and shattering tolerance. In years when stripe rust is a threat, maximize yield with Quilt fungicide at flag leaf. Adapted for both dryland and irrigated production, SY Gold is medium maturity with good milling and baking scores.

These agronomic assessments are made by Syngenta scientists and reflect each variety's relative performance within these characteristics prior to and during the 2011 crop year. Specific conditions may cause variations within those characteristics. These relative protection values are based on current pest and disease populations. These have been known to shift periodically and may cause changes in specific evaluations. Resistance to many other diseases and pests is sensitive to environmental conditions, plant development stages and the presence and intensity of other diseases which may result in specific evaluation inconsistencies. This chart is updated annually to reflect the most current trends.
