Robigus is ideally suited to fit the domestic biscuit and distilling market, the export biscuit flour and export blended flour markets (Table 1) and offers growers the security to sell into a wide range of end-markets.
Robigus’ very high yield potential ensures that the variety is competitive with Group 4 feed wheat in the UK and export feed markets, providing maximum gross margins.
Robigus has a relatively strong tillering capacity, producing a high number of primary tillers which are rarely shed, and only a few, small back tillers.

However, the surprising 0.33 t/ha boost recorded from treating RL yield leader, Robigus with Latitude (silthiofam) this season in a first cereal trial suggests particular care needs to be taken to protect the variety from the yield-robbing disease.
"Robigus out-yielded the three other varieties in our mid-September drilled first wheat take-all trials quite comfortably, producing 12.45 t/ha from the control single-purpose seed treatment," explained Allied Grain Fishers technical manager, Jim Carswell.
Despite relatively low levels of take-all on the site this season, the October-sown Robigus responded to Latitude treatment with a massive 1.25 t/ha yield boost in the Yorkshire Wolds trials.

Robigus produced the highest yield of all varieties tested (12.5 t/ha at Downpatrick), and also the highest mean yield across sites (11.9 t/ha), equivalent to a 7% increase on yields expected based on the last three years' data, in treated plots.
In untreated trials its performance was on a par with Robigus, yielding a mean of 122% of the untreated controls, with an outstanding 135% at Limavady.

 SAC - Crop Clinic - Watch for yellow rust in Robigus
At the same time, disease has been developing in crops, in particulalr septoria tritici and powdery mildew, but there are also reports of yellow rust in the variety Robigus.
Robigus has good resistance to septoria tritici and powdery mildew, so there may be a temptation to cut back on the spring fungicide.
The weather has been ideal for the development of yellow rust and this variety is susceptible to this disease, and the area sown to this varity and recent weather mean cops are at risk.

Little gods like Robigus had to be content with a ritual or two and the privilege of not getting casually kicked around by their betters more than once or twice a week (unless, of course, the more potent Roman ethereal gods were having an especially bad week).
The fact that Robigus is the God of Mildew is an added bonus, in Saminga's eyes: it's a good Word, and a demon of Death can't actually hold it (the stuff _is_ more or less alive, after all).
Watching Athena swallow her bile as Robigus leers at her is one of the ethereal's favorite things in life...

Despite this, however, a yield difference of 2.6 t/ha was recorded between the worst performing Recommended List variety (Robigus) receiving the standard single-purpose seed dressing and the best performer (Consort) with the specialist take-all treatment Latitude.
Along with Consort, Einstein, Richmond and Napier showed themselves to be the better-performing varieties while Xi19 and Claire joined Robigus as decidedly disappointing (Figure).
"Consort may be losing out to Robigus in overall plantings, but it should clearly continue to be preferred to it, as well as to Claire, outside the first wheat slot," he advised.

On April 25th a festival called the RoblgCMa, sup­posed to have been instituted by Numa, was held in their honour in their grove, distant nearly five miles from Rome.
The citizens marched to the spot in white festal attire, under the conduct of the flamen QuirlnaHs, Robigus having at first apparently repre­sented only a particular function of Mars (or Qulrlnus), as protector of the arable land.
After a prayer, accompanied by offerings of incense and wine, for the pre­servation of the ripening seed, the flamen offered sacrifice with the entrails of a young sorrel dog and a sheep.

 AICC Crop Report
Robigus is not too bad whilst Cordiale, Access and Consort are standing bolt upright.
In the West Midlands, Bryce Rham reports that Robigus has lodged and remarks that this is probably due to the fact that the crops have been sown too thick.
"Robigus had a low thousand grain weight last year and some growers have failed to reduce seed rates to take this into account, they are now paying the price with flat crops."

The Roman God of Mold and Mildew was "Robigus" or "Robigo" which also means "crop rust" (rusts are one type of plant pathogenic fungus).
Robigus was greatly feared, probably because of crop losses due to fungal plant pathogens.
During the Robigalia a procession took place on the Via Claudia to the grove of Robigus at the 5th mile stone.

 Teagasc - Tillage Newsletter
Three new varieties are added to the Winter Wheat recommended list, Einstein, Robigus and Trust, the most notable feature of all three is their resistance to septoria, equal to or better than Clare (the higher the value the greater the resistance).
Of the new varieties, Robigus has a very low TGW at 43.4 while Einstein has the highest TGW at 52.4.
of Robigus requires 130 kg/ha (8.3 st/ac) whereas sowing Einstein, 157 kg/ha (10 st/ac) is required to sow the very same number of seeds, a difference of over €12 per hectare in cost.

He said 200ha of Robigus, Solstice, Claire and Soissons is yielding 8.5 – 9t/ha, which is “one of the better years”.
But he said the quality is starting to drop, with one or two quality wheats still to be cut.
He believes the quality is ok, and was pleased crops came in at 6 – 9% moisture as there were no drying costs.

 Irish Farmers Journal Interactive - 17 April 2004: Crops stay clean as flag leaves set to appear
Robigus looked the least forward at this point but it also looked more like wheat should still look at this time of year - covering the ground well with a nice broad leaf and moving well into stem extension.
Were it not for the presence of Savannah as a comparison one might be tempted to suggest that the septoria resistance in Einstein and Robigus was really paying off.
But the Savannah was also clean, thus indicating that it is the weather/season that is having the biggest effect.
