Durum management for quality targets

Trials run over several years and sites highlight that the newer durum lines such as Saintly (pictured) do not require extra nitrogen for growth but require more nitrogen to achieve 13 per cent protein... The extra nitrogen should be applied as late as possible to minimise the potential for increased screenings... Trials run for three years (2009-11) identified that varieties with higher yield potential such as Yawa , WID802 and Hyperno were favoured most by early sowing...
