New Dirkwin provides growers with a completely awnless wheat option for both hay and silage. The plant’s fine stem and large head make for a great looking bale with high quality feed values, while it’s height and leafy structure add tonnage. To combat the ever pervasive rust issues in California, three rust resistant genes have been introduced to the plant, providing maximized protection for the grower. New Dirkwin is the latest in a long line of superior products that Baglietto Seeds has committed to providing growers for over 60 years.
