EXPORTATION OF CANADIAN WINTER WHEAT TO NEPAL

A more practical hard red winter wheat variety option is Priesley, sold by C&M Seeds, located in Palmerston, Ontario (C&M Seeds, 2016). This seed has the best yield for a hardy red winter wheat, with its yield being the most stable while including a steady increase in yields year to year (Go Cereals, 2016). Priesley also boasts of excellent fusarium and leaf disease tolerance, increasing the ability to achieve high yields, however the plants mature later in comparison to other winter wheat varieties resulting in a later harvest (C&M Seeds, 2016). Priesley provides all of the same benefits that Norstar does, but with increased yield and disease tolerance.
