Durum
Durum
Durum wheat is a key crop in drier regions and remains a strong option for farms focused on quality grain production. Our durum varieties are chosen for their yield stability, disease tolerance, and grain quality traits. They are well suited for Saskatchewan conditions where maturity and consistency matter.
AAC Burton is a standout durum variety that checks boxes growers care about - top-end yield, very strong standability, strong disease package. Boasting stronger straw than all checks and a shorter plant height than nearly all checks, giving unmatched resilience in the field. In the brown and dark brown soil zones, it consistently delivers higher grain yields than all competitors, while offering grain protein that surpasses the previous top-yielding check, AAC Weyburn.
- Stronger straw – short in height.
- Grain yield in the brown/dark brown soil zones.
- A similar level of resistance to Fusarium-damaged kernels as the intermediate rating durum cultivar.
- Low grain cadmium content.
