Cabernet

HRS for Intense Irrigation Management

Hard Red Spring

Cabernet is ideally suited to intensive management under irrigation, coupling superior yield potential, good protein and good quality. It has performed extremely well in the Columbia Basin and in irrigated production in Northern Oregon. Cabernet has shown outstanding adult plant resistance to current strains of stripe rust and excellent standability.

  • Awned
  • Intermediate maturity similar to Express
  • Superior yields with good protein and quality
  • Excellent test weight
  • Excellent tillerinig
  • Stripe rust tolerance
  • Short to medium height
  • Stiff straw and excellent standability

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.
