The Hereford winter wheat variety has a medium stem length. The plant is characterized by a tendency to lodging, which requires the use of growth regulators and control of sowing dates.
The variety possesses resistance to Septoria and powdery mildew, but shows high susceptibility to leaf rust. The variety's genetic material was used in the creation of subsequent wheat generations.
The variety belongs to the forage wheat category. It was in demand in Northern European regions due to its yield and suitability for cultivation as a second crop in rotation.
