nabim comment: Einstein continues to be used by most millers. However, it has a tendency to produce lower protein levels with lower water absorption. For this reason, the variety requires careful agronomic management. Most millers will only be able to use restricted proportions of this variety in breadmaking grists.

A slow developing variety which has proved useful for very early drilling. nabim comment: This early sowing biscuit wheat continues to be the benchmark for Group 3 varieties. It is preferred by millers because of its milling qualities, bright white flour colour and its gluten characteristics which result in high dough extensibility.

White-grained wheats are prone to sprouting in the ear with a resulting loss of Hagberg, so it is important that the variety is given priority at harvest to reduce the sprouting risk. There has been little lodging in recent years and there are insufficient data to produce ratings for newer varieties.

The HGCA Recommended Lists 2013/14 are managed by a project consortium of BSPB, HGCA, MAGB and nabim. Funding for the Recommended List trials and tests is provided by HGCA but the production of the Lists would be impossible without the contribution and support of the industry. For specific RL enquiries call 024 7647 8746 or email rl@hgca.ahdb.org.uk
Preliminary data
The selection of new varieties to promote into HGCA Recommended List trials is made on the basis of preliminary data collected during National List and other trials and tests and these data also make a major contribution to the variety means presented in the RL tables. Acknowledgement is made to Defra and the devolved governments as well as BSPB for the use of these data.

Processors
HGCA is grateful for the valuable contributions made by member companies of nabim and SWA who conduct milling and distilling tests both at the preliminary and Recommended Lists stages.
