WR859 CL Hard Red Spring WheatPerformanceWR859 CL is an awned HRS variety that carries high yield potential and has a solid disease resistance package. It is a herbicide-tolerant wheat that gives growers the flexibility to spray any registered wheat herbicide or spray Clearfield technology. See its performance:

Disease Resistant to leaf rust, common bunt and loose smut Moderately Resistant to Fusarium head blight (the highest rating available in wheat) and stem rust

Protein Intermediate between Superb and AC Barrie

Maturity Similar to AC Barrie

Threshability Very good

Test Weight Similar to AC Barrie

Height Slightly taller than Superb, strong straw

Yield 11% higher than AC Barrie 3% higher than Superb

PGDC Registration Trials data

High yield potentialEmergence – WR859 CL emerges quickly with uniform emergence – this kind of crop start means you can direct seed with the assurance of good crop establishment and get the uniformity you need to direct cut harvest for the best performance and profit.

Early – Compared to most leading varieties, WR859 CL �owers 2-3 days earlier and longer, which enables your crop to handle environmental stress better and produces more yield, leading to better grain quality and higher returns.

Quality – With a very good test weight, WR859 CL is among the heaviest of leading varieties, with excellent protein (up to 1.5% higher than the pack of leading varieties) giving way to more gross revenue and pro�t.

Flexible herbicide optionsProvides the �exibility to spray with any registered wheat herbicide – such as grassy weed herbicides Axial®, Traxos™, Sierra® and Horizon® NG; broadleaf weed herbicides Pulsar® and Target®; or, with Clear�eld® technology.

Excellent harvestabilityStature & standability – Short in stature, WR859 CL has very good standability and lodging resistance; you get better direct cut harvest performance for a faster, easier harvest to save time and money.Easy to thresh – Resists pre-harvest shelling, with less straw and is extremely easy to thresh, which means very good harvest performance, higher harvest productivity, a cleaner, better sample and lower dockage.

Solid disease packageDisease Resistance – WR859 CL has a very complete disease resistance package, including resistance to leaf rust, loose smut and bunt, with moderate resistance to stem rust. WR859 CL also includes the best rating available in wheat against Fusarium head blight. This package results in better quality, better grades and a higher gross revenue per acre.Cruiser Maxx® Cereals – Protects against 12 seed- and soil-borne diseases as well as insect pests. Plants will emerge faster, resulting in stronger plants, and setting higher yield potential early.Proseed™ – It costs cereal growers real money when viable seeds fail to produce due to seed- and soil-borne Fusarium. But that can change with Proseed Seed Treatment when used in combination with Cruiser Maxx Cereals.

The WR859 CL ExperienceWe heard great stories from many growers about their WR859 CL crop in 2011; here’s what some of them told us:

“We seeded just over 500 acres of WR859 CL wheat this year and were extremely satisfied with the results from seeding to harvesting. The first thing I noticed was the vigour emerging out of the ground, very fast and even. We treated the WR859 CL with Cruiser Maxx Cereals and I believe that was a main contributor. The WR859 CL/Cruiser Maxx Cereals that I seeded on my farm is something I am very proud to have on my farm this year and will definitely be growing it next year. I would recommend growing it in the future.” – Andy Frank (Wetaskiwin, AB)

“The WR859 CL wheat performed very well for us. It stood up very nicely. The yield was very comparable to the Kane we had, and the quality was better. We were able to combine 25% faster than in the Kane and make a better sample because it just threshed easier. Overall, we are very pleased with the WR859 CL wheat, and will be growing more of it next year.”

– John Sawatzky (MacGregor, MB)

“We couldn’t be happier with Syngenta’s WR859 CL wheat. The yield was tremendous, standability was great and it was very easy to thresh. WR589 CL seems to have a great disease package as well. As soon as our harvest is done, I’m ordering some more WR859 CL seed for next year. I’m impressed!”

– Kevin Archibald (Killarney, MB)
