  • Resistant to orange wheat blossom midge.

  • Has performed very well in a wide range of situations.

  • Moderate straw strength.

  • Limited data suggests it has good resistance to Septoria nodorum but that it is susceptible to Fusarium ear blight.

  • Relatively low specific weight.

  • Low Hagberg falling number.

  • Oakley had good resistance to brown rust but it is now moderately susceptible to a race of the disease that can also attack Robigus.
