The actual decision regarding which seed variety to plant had to be made some months -ago by growers through CSD, this decision is mostly based upon a number of factors, viz: 1: Yield 2: Resistance to insects and disease, such as bacterial blight 3: Quality of fibre The above are listed in order of importance to the grower. As a marketer I would like to move the order to place fibre quality into first place; however, I recognise that economics and the ability to make higher yield, consistent with quality, has to be of first importance
