Dika has been our most challenged variety in our micro-climate. Over 3 seasons we haven’t seen any increase in tillering or grain head size, nor an increase in overall biomass or grain yield. Although Dika isn’t our tallest wheat, we’ve also had issues with lodging. While Dika hasn’t been our standout variety, it remains a valuable landrace with increasingly rare genetic diversity we strive to preserve. Please give Dika a chance in your micro-climate!
