Einstein is the highest yielding fully recommended breadmaking
variety on the HGCA Recommended List and is suitable for all UK
regions.
Einstein has a similar yield potential to many of the highest yielding
feed wheats, stiff, short straw, and has performed extremely well
across a range of situations including first, second wheats and
late drilling.
Einstein has good all round disease resistance,particularly to eyespot
which is very unusual in a breadmaking variety. Einstein has good
grain quality which is suitable for both domestic and overseas grists.
Einstein is also suitable for organic situations.

* Official HGCA trials do not receive additional nitrogen to enhance
grain protein levels and high yielding varieties, like Einstein,
tend to produce low proteins in these trials.
