Wheat: PAN 3111 in Hoopstad

Hannelie Tait, Pannar's representative in Hoopstad, shared this wheat planting of PAN 3111, which is developing splendidly. The planting was done from 2 to 11 May in 0,52 m rows at 10,5 kg seed per hectare. It was fertilised with 65 kg N/ha, 13.3 kg P/ha and 10 kg K/ha.

PAN 3111 is well adapted to the Free State and delivers top performance in the national trials. It has a high yield potential, short straw length, excellent standability and good Aluminium tolerance. PAN 3111, a true winter-type cultivar, has the highest cold requirement in Pannar's dryland wheat package. It is recommended for early plantings.

Pannar's dryland wheat package consists of true winter and intermediate wheat cultivars. In addition to PAN 3111, there are several other highlights. PAN 3161 is also a true winter type with a combination of good aluminium tolerance and Russian Wheat Aphid resistance. PAN 3161 has exceptional strong seedling vigour and is a good choice on lands with a risk of wind damage. In the intermediate growth class, the new PAN 3373, which replaces PAN 3368, is recommended as a good choice for later plantings in all the dryland production areas of the Western and Eastern Free State. The cultivar has good yield performance and stability. Due to PAN 3373's shorter growth period, exceptional yield potential and good standability, it is also ideal for production under supplementary irrigation.
