Winter Wheat Variety Insights
Did you know that LG Skyscraper prefers medium-light soils and can be drilled into January? Do you know the tillering ability and speed of spring development of individual varieties?
Choosing the right variety for a particular situation on farm is one of the biggest decisions that a grower will make.
As breeders, Limagrain UK carries out extensive trials, pulling apart varieties to really understand how they perform in a wide range of situations, across very different seasons.
