LG Beowulf

✚ A hgh yielding feed wheat with good physical grain quality

✚ Good all-round disease resistance and midge resistance

Variety Positioning

• A new addition to the UK Recommended List with very high yields in Agrii trials in 2023 (105% treated, 92% untreated) with very bold grain (78.3 kg/hl, AHDB). 

• Suitable across the UK excluding areas of high sterility risk until more information is available.

• It can be grown across heavy and light soils and has a wide drilling window from mid-September through to the end of January. It is also an acceptable second wheat choice. 

• A high tillering variety that is relatively tall (90 cm) and reasonably stiff straw both treated (7.5) (7) and untreated (8.1) (6).

• It’s competitiveness against grass weeds is still under evaluation and it has mid-late maturity (+2) (+3). 

• A reasonable set of disease scores for mildew (6) (4)  and Septoria tritici (7) (6) but it is very weak against yellow rust (4) (3) and brown rust (4) (3).

• 
  Moderately resistant to fusarium ear blight (6) and eyespot (6) but
  moderately susceptible to stem-base diseases.

• Resistant to orange wheat blossom midge.
