Pioneer brand 25R47 has been the most widespread grown soft red winter wheat in Southern Ontario for several years now.
Its superior plant health and winterhardiness have made it the variety to beat.

Pioneer brand 25R39 is a new awnless soft red winter wheat variety that shows great promise.In limited yield data in 2008 it showed superior yield performance to 25R47. 25R39 will grow taller than 25R47, has similar leaf blight, leaf rust and fusarium head blight resistance scores as well as much better test weight.Winter hardiness and standability will be very close to 25R47's as well.25R39 will ripen and be ready for harvest slightly later than 25R47.Limited supplies will be available this fall.

Pioneer brand 25R51 is the leading FUSARIUM HEADBLIGHT TOLERANT wheat in Southern Ontario.25R51 gives farmers the best opportunity to deliver grade 2 wheat to their elevator and avoid any grade discounts due to tombstone.25R51 contains two Summi genes extracted from Chinese germplasm that helps render it Fusarium headblight tolerance.In head to head comparisons 25R51 runs a slight yield disadvantage to 25R47 BUT its headblight tolerance makes it a wonderful companion to other varieties.


Pioneer brand 25R56 is a NEW awnless soft red winter wheat for 2009.In last years yield data 25R56 held a nice yield advantage over 25R47 .Though 25R56 will head later than 25R47 it dries down extremely fast and will be ready to harvest slightly sooner.25R56 will have heavier test weight.25R56 offers an excellent leaf disease resistance package.Winter hardiness and Fusarium Headblight tolerance will both be similar to 25R47.Good supplies are available for the fall of 2009.
