Variety promises high yields and good agronomics

NIAB has awarded its 2023 Cereals Cup to winter wheat variety KWS Extase – with the NIAB Variety Cup going to Limagrain’s winter wheat Crusoe.

Tweaking winter wheat fungicide programmes to reflect drilling date can help mitigate yield losses from septoria, says ADAS research.

Norfolk grower Mark Means says his first fully commercial crop of DSV Champion winter wheat is looking good – a year after the Group 4 variety achieved 16.2t/ha in AHDB trials on his farm.

A winter wheat crop which yielded almost 18t/ha has been confirmed as a world record.

Semi-dwarf wheat varieties with improved drought resilience may soon be grown in fields across the world – thanks to Norfolk scientists.
