Regency is a medium maturing autumn/winter awned wheat, with medium height that tillers well with good straw strength. It has good sprouting resistance and is easily threshed, producing grain with weights of 40-45 g/1000, low screenings and average test weights. Protein levels are typical of premium bread wheats and are management dependent. Grain weights under medium drought stress are reduced, but under increased stress stop at about 36 when other cultivars fall below 30 in similar conditions. Regency has excellent resistance to stripe rust, mildew and black point, with less resistance to speckled leaf blotch (Septoria tritici), barley yellow dwarf virus and leaf rust, and some susceptibility to stripe rust as a seedling.
