Labriego-INIA’s main agronomic characteristics are: 91-106 cm plant height; resistant to shattering and lodging; bearded and white spike; and white kernels. This cultivar has resistance to stripe and leaf rusts (Puccinia striiformis and P. recondita). It shows good yielding potential and milling and baking characteristics, as a winter wheat cultivar.
