enoster is an exciting new wheat cultivar that will be available as part of the irri-
gation wheat package of the ARC-Small Grain Institute (ARC-SGI), to replace the
short growing cultivar, Steenbras. The cultivar is in the process of being commer-
cialised and the ARC-SGI is pleased to announce that Renoster seed will be com-
mercially available in 2017. TheARC-SGI has highhopes for the cultivar and is confident that
it will beoneof the leading cultivars in the irrigation area.
Renoster is anexciting andunique cultivar due to its short straw.With a straw approximately
20 cm to 25 cm shorter than Duzi, Renoster will be an excellent choice for resistance to
lodging, especially at a high yieldpotential.
During the 2013 season, Renoster produced yields of up to 10,3 ton/ha with an average of
8,7 ton/ha over different environments in the cooler irrigation areas. Inmost cases, Krokodil
was the only cultivar that produced higher yields than Renoster and in general Renoster
outperformed Duzi. In the warmer irrigation areas, Renoster produced an average yield of
8,7 ton/haover different environments.Whenhectolitremasswas considered, Renoster had
an averageof 77 kg/hl.
A second characteristic that makes Renoster a good choice is its short growth season. It is
harvest readymoreor less tendaysearlier thanother cultivarsonoffer. It is rare that acultivar
with a short growth season can competewith yields ofmediumgrowthperiod cultivars.
All wheat cultivars of the ARC-SGI in the area have excellent baking quality and Renoster is
nodifferent. It hasproved tobe a cultivar to contendwith andwith the correctmanagement,
will realise exceptionallygood yields. Its short straw and short growingperiod alsoprovides
