[en] From 1994 to 1996, trials have been carried out in Gembloux (Belgium) to evaluate the agronomical value of hybrid wheat varieties and to determine the best adapted growing conditions for these new wheats. These experiments show that the best hybrids have a yield potential hyghly superior to classical varieties. In order to improve the cost-effectiveness of hybrid wheat crops, a reduction in seed rate may be possible together with changes in nitrogen fertilisation, if the results of preliminary studies are confirmed.
